    A route that avoids the zone

    Amanda warns you before the zone and guides you to your arrival.

    Outline from open data, for guidance only. The signs on site always prevail.

    01

    Where the road stops

    The AVM page for the municipal garage at Piazzale Roma, describes it as the point from which you reach the city and the islands: 1,906 car spaces, €35 for 24 hours, height 2.20 m, open every hour of the year. An evening rate of €15 is also shown.

    This garage is not an entrance into the lanes. You leave the car here, or at the other road terminal, Tronchetto, whose price was not on the page read today.

    02

    Piazzale Roma, the figure to plan with

    For the day, count €35 for 24 hours and a height of 2.20 m at the municipal garage. It is open all day.

    Tronchetto remains the other road terminal. Its price and height are on the operator's page the day you travel: they were not re-.

    Piazzale Roma (AVM)€35 per 24 hours · 1,906 spaces · 2.20 m
    Tronchetto (Interparking)€6 per hour, €29 per 24 hours · 3,483 spaces · 2.10 m
    Park Candiani, Mestre (AVM)€2 per hour up to 6 hours, €12 over 6 hours · 111 spaces · 2.00 m
    03

    Mestre is not open just because part of it is suspended

    The ban in the Mestre centre ZTL normally applies every day, including holidays, from 00:00 to 24:00. Cameras read the plates.

    Ordinance 804 of 29 December 2021 suspends all day part of zone A2 north of the via Torre Belfredo and viale Garibaldi axis, zone A3, and the cameras at a few gates, including via Colombo and via Cappuccina. The other ZTL areas, the reserved lanes that remain, vehicles over 3.5 tonnes or at least 7.5 m long, and the pedestrian areas stay restricted. An electric car or a car-share car enters only with an authorisation.

    04

    The amount shown for Mestre

    The same page states €58.10 if you pay within 5 days of notification, and €83 from day 6 to day 60. Postal and procedure costs are added: their amount is on the ticket.

    The page lists permanent permits, time-band permits, temporary permits and disabled permits. The practical note is about residents, dwellers and people who already hold a parking space. A short visit parks outside these zones rather than counting on a permit the same day.

    05

    The ZTL Bus is for coaches, not cars

    Venice also has a paid-pass zone for tourist coaches, called ZTL Bus, introduced in 2002. It does not apply to cars.

    Road signs always come first. Follow the signs to Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto and do not turn into Mestre's centre streets unless you have a permit.
