Città 30. Bologna gets serious
In November 2022, Bologna launched the ‘Bologna Città 30’ plan, lowering the speed limit to 30 km/h on many streets to improve safety. Despite the controversy, from 16 January 2024 penalties will apply to those who exceed this limit. The change mainly affects central and densely populated areas, with a few exceptions at 50 km/h. Fines vary according to how far the limit is exceeded, with a tolerance of 5 km/h. The plan includes checks with speed cameras and laser speed guns, aiming for zero road deaths, improved public health and the promotion of sustainable mobility.
