Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 95% fail

    ZTL cameras are automated and issue real fines to all unauthorized vehicles; rental car agencies forward fines to your home address.

  2. 70% fail

    Many ZTL zones are 24/7, especially in city centers; overnight parking without permit still triggers fines.

  3. 80% fail

    Registration must be done before entry; most hotels cannot retroactively cancel a fine already issued by camera.
