🚨 There is exactly one rule in this timetable and that is the finding, not an omission. This order names no ecological Sundays and imposes no emergency circulation measures, so Saturday, Sunday and alert days carry no ban. Most orders in this family have two or three rules here. No timetable may be copied from one town to another.
A Euro 5 diesel is lawful in Bagnolo in Piano on every day of the season. That is not true at Formigine, Castenaso, Maranello or Piacenza.
⚠️ The Easter entries are computed for the 2026–27 season and are not a standing rule. The order names "Pasqua" and "Lunedì dell'Angelo"; the dates move every year and this timetable does not.
The emergency article is real and has two limbs, but neither reaches a vehicle: the Arpae bulletin for the Province of Reggio Emilia triggers a livestock-slurry ban and a wood-biomass heating ban.
Strike days are not in this timetable: the order suspends the ban on any day of a local public transport strike, and those are called at short notice.
⚠️ This timetable is a clock. It says nothing about where you are, and this order says less about that than any other in the family: it names no annex, no plan and no street. A vehicle on the banned list can be entirely lawful at every hour in this table.
🚨 The timetable cannot carry this order's sharpest rule, which is not about time at all: Move-In enrolment does not exempt a vehicle here, though it does in most of the surrounding comuni. See the charge and steps.
Operating times only, read from the source below. It does not check your vehicle.
Bagnolo in Piano closes its built-up area — the main town and its outlying hamlets — to older vehicles for the winter half of the year, from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 18:30, the ban catches petrol cars up to and including Euro 2, LPG/petrol and methane/petrol up to and including Euro 2, diesel cars up to and including Euro 4, and mopeds and motorcycles up to and including Euro 2.
Nothing is on sale: there is no day ticket, no charge and no payable derogation. The fine is set by national law and the order states it, a range of €168 to €679, with fifteen to thirty days' licence suspension for a repeat offence within two years. 🚨 THE FINDING THAT MATTERS MOST HERE IS A NEGATIVE, AND IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE NEIGHBOUR PUBLISHED THE SAME WEEK.
Move-In, the regional telematics scheme that lets an enrolled vehicle buy back a monitored mileage allowance instead of a flat ban, is named four times in this order's preamble and NEVER in its operative part.
The exemption list at the second point 6 runs to three letters — electric and hybrid, car-pooling, specific-transport and special-use vehicles — and Move-In is not among them, nor among the eleven further derogations at point 7. 🚫 So a Euro 4 diesel enrolled in Move-In is still banned in Bagnolo in Piano.
At Baricella, published seven days later on the same Arpae index, the identical scheme IS an operative exemption, letter d) of point 8. Same region, same season, same template, opposite answers. 🔑 ONE VEHICLE LIST, ONE CLOCK, AND NO ECOLOGICAL SUNDAYS — the third order in this corpus built that way.
"Domeniche ecologiche" occurs once, in the preamble, describing what Move-In does not cover, and never in the operative part.
The emergency article, the first point 6, is triggered by the Arpae bulletin for the Province of Reggio Emilia and imposes a livestock-slurry ban and a wood-biomass heating ban — neither of them about vehicles. 🚨 So a Euro 5 diesel is lawful here on every day of the season. ⚠️ AND THE ORDER DOES NOT SAY WHERE THE EDGE IS.
It does not even name a plan: the area is "come individuati agli atti del Comune" — as identified in the Comune's own records — with no annex, no map and no street list.
Comune di Bagnolo in Piano (RE) — Ordinanza n° 16 del 21/09/2026, signed digitally by the Mayor, Pietro Cortenova, and published by Arpae Emilia-Romagna, the regional agency that collects the implementing ordinances of the municipalities bound by the PAIR 2030
Nothing is charged and nothing is on sale.
The order bans the listed classes from circulating inside the centro abitato and then lists the vehicles and journeys that are exempt; there is no day ticket, no registration fee and no payable derogation a visitor could buy. 🚨 AND UNLIKE ITS NEIGHBOURS, THIS ORDER OFFERS NO TELEMATICS ROUTE EITHER — WHICH IS THE ONE FACT ON THIS PAGE MOST LIKELY TO CATCH A READER WHO HAS LEARNED THE FAMILY.
Move-In is the regional scheme under which a banned vehicle fits a black box and is allowed a monitored annual mileage allowance instead of a flat prohibition. Formigine, Castenaso, Soliera, Vignola and Baricella all write it into their operative exemption lists, in narrower or wider form. Bagnolo in Piano does not.
The word appears four times in the preamble, reciting the regional framework and the inter-regional agreement that set the scheme up, and the operative part of the order never returns to it. 🔑 THE TEST APPLIED HERE IS THE POSITIONAL ONE (D-334), RUN AGAINST A DIFFERENT QUESTION THAN IT WAS WRITTEN FOR. The word ORDINA divides recital from command in every order in this family.
Counting occurrences of "Move-In" after that word gives zero. So the mention is background, not entitlement, and a driver enrolled in Move-In has no exemption to produce here. ⚠️ The honest limit of that finding is worth stating: this record reads one ordinance.
It is possible that the Comune grants Move-In by a separate act this project has not found, as Soliera does by its own earlier ordinanza n. 38 del 01/10/2025. But Soliera's ordinance cites that act in its exemption list and this one cites nothing, so there is no document to follow — and an exemption a driver cannot point an officer to is not an exemption they can rely on.
Seasonal, and the season had not yet begun when this was read. The ban runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027 — the order puts the months in its own subject line, "PAIR 2030, OTTOBRE 2026 – MARZO 2027". Monday to Friday the window is 08:30 to 18:30. 🚨 THERE IS NO SUNDAY RULE.
Point 1 is the only article in the order that names a vehicle, and it names Monday to Friday. "Domeniche ecologiche" appears once in the whole document, in the preamble, recounting what regional decision DGR 1493/2025 says Move-In does not cover — "in occasione delle domeniche ecologiche, ove adottate con specifica ordinanza". This order is not that specific ordinance.
Saturday and Sunday carry no ban at all. 🚫 DO NOT CARRY A NEIGHBOUR'S CALENDAR HERE. Formigine names nineteen ecological Sundays with December empty; Castenaso names twenty-three including all four December Sundays; Piacenza names twenty; Maranello names none and instead declares every Sunday of the season closed.
Vignola, Soliera and this order have none at all. 🚨 NOR IS THERE AN EMERGENCY CIRCULATION BAN, though the machinery for one is fully built. The order's first point 6 sets up the familiar trigger: the Arpae bulletin issued on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, measured for the Province of Reggio Emilia, the measures running from the day after the bulletin until the next control day inclusive.
It then lists exactly two measures, 6.1 a prohibition on spreading livestock slurry and 6.2 a prohibition on wood-biomass domestic heating below the five-star class. No vehicle appears under either. 🔑 THE SUSPENDED DAYS ARE EIGHT, AND THAT IS THE LONGEST LIST IN THE FAMILY — AND THE ONLY ONE THAT REACHES EASTER.
The order names "1° novembre, 8 dicembre, Natale, Santo Stefano, Capodanno, Epifania, Pasqua, Lunedì dell'Angelo", plus any day of a local public transport strike. ⚠️ Note that it names four of them by feast rather than by date, which is how this file differs from Soliera's, where all four suspended days are printed as numerals. ⚠️ FIVE OF THE EIGHT ACTUALLY BITE, AND THE ARITHMETIC IS WORTH SHOWING BECAUSE THE LIST'S LENGTH IS MISLEADING.
Checked against the calendar on 2026-09-30: 8 December 2026 is a Tuesday, Christmas Day a Friday, 1 January 2027 a Friday, Epiphany a Wednesday and Easter Monday, 29 March 2027, a Monday — all five working weekdays inside the season.
The other three cannot touch a Monday-to-Friday rule: 1 November 2026 is a Sunday, St Stephen's Day a Saturday and Easter Sunday, 28 March 2027, a Sunday. 🔑 EASTER MONDAY IS THE ONE A VISITOR COULD ACTUALLY USE, AND IT IS UNIQUE TO THIS ORDER IN THE FAMILY.
29 March 2027 is a working Monday two days before the season ends, and Soliera's record had to record the opposite — that Easter Monday falls inside its season and is NOT suspended there.
Comune di Bagnolo in Piano (RE) — Ordinanza n° 16 del 21/09/2026: the subject line for the season, point 1 for the weekday window, the suspended days and the strike clause, the first point 6 for the emergency article, and the preamble for the sole mention of ecological Sundays
One built-up area, and it is explicitly a plural one: "l'area del centro abitato di Bagnolo in Piano (capoluogo e frazioni)" — the main town AND its outlying hamlets. 🔑 That parenthesis is the widest area formula in this family.
Soliera and Vignola each restrict a single centro abitato; Baricella names five by name; this order names none of its hamlets and sweeps them all in by category. 🚫 AND IT POINTS AT NO DOCUMENT AT ALL, WHICH IS A THIRD KIND OF SILENCE. The areas are "come individuati agli atti del Comune" — as identified in the Comune's own records.
There is no annex, no planimetry, no street list and no resolution number. ⚠️ This is a step further than Soliera, which at least names "la planimetria costituente l'allegato n. 1" and then fails to publish it: there, a reader knows what to ask the Comune for.
Here there is nothing to ask for by name. ⚠️ THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT THIS RECORD CANNOT TELL A DRIVER WHERE THE EDGE IS, AND SAYING SO IS THE POINT. The practical test on the ground is the one the Highway Code gives and which every order in this family ultimately rests on: a centro abitato is bounded on its approach roads by the begin and end signs bearing the place name, posted under article 4 of D.Lgs.
285/1992. 🔑 Here that test does more work than usual, because the order covers the hamlets too — so the signs a driver meets on entering each separate settlement are the operative boundary, not just the ones around the main town. 🔑 One thing the order does settle is which territory the duty comes from: the preamble records that the Comune "si trova nella zona Pianura Ovest", the western-plain zone covered by the Court of Justice judgment of 10 November 2020, and is bound to implement the PAIR 2030 measures on that footing.
Comune di Bagnolo in Piano (RE) — Ordinanza n° 16 del 21/09/2026, point 1 for the area formula and the referral to the Comune's records, and the preamble for the Pianura Ovest zoning
Petrol cars of Euro 0, Euro 1 and Euro 2 are banned — "veicoli alimentati a benzina EURO 0, EURO 1 ed EURO 2, non conformi alla direttiva 98/69/A CE e successive o alla direttiva 99/96/A CE e successive" — so a petrol car needs to be Euro 3 or better. Bi-fuel vehicles running on LPG/petrol or methane/petrol are treated identically and banned up to and including Euro 2.
Mopeds are banned up to and including Euro 2 where they do not comply with Directive 2013/60/EC or later, and motorcycles up to and including Euro 2 where they do not comply with Directive 2003/77/EC or later. 🔑 These are the only thresholds in the document. There is one vehicle list, at point 1, and no second list anywhere — no stricter Sunday list, no emergency list.
A reader of the Formigine or Castenaso records who has learned to check which of three lists applies today does not need to here.
Comune di Bagnolo in Piano (RE) — Ordinanza n° 16 del 21/09/2026, point 1, the five indents of the sole vehicle list
Diesel cars are banned up to and including Euro 4 — "veicoli diesel EURO 0, EURO 1, EURO 2, EURO 3 ed EURO 4 non conformi alla direttiva 2005/55/CE B2 e successive o alla direttiva 99/96 fase III oppure Riga B2 o C e successive" — so a diesel needs to be Euro 5 or better. 🚨 AND THAT IS TRUE ON EVERY DAY OF THE SEASON.
There is no second list: no ecological Sunday on which the threshold moves to Euro 5, and no emergency vehicle limitation. Formigine, Castenaso, Maranello and Piacenza all carry one or both. A Euro 5 diesel is therefore lawful in Bagnolo in Piano on a Tuesday, on a Sunday and during an air-quality alert alike. 🚨 BUT A EURO 4 DIESEL HAS NO WAY OUT HERE, AND THAT IS WHERE THIS RECORD PARTS FROM ITS NEIGHBOURS.
Across this family a banned diesel can usually still travel by enrolling in Move-In, the regional telematics scheme. This order names Move-In only in its preamble and never in its operative part, so there is no exemption to claim. 🚫 At Baricella, on the same publisher's index and seven days later, Move-In is operative exemption letter d).
The two orders give opposite answers to the same driver. ⚠️ A reader who has seen that Italian national law set a structural Euro 5 diesel limitation from 1 October 2026 should note that it does not reach Bagnolo in Piano, and the order's own preamble says why: the national duty applies "nei centri abitati dei Comuni con popolazione superiore a 100.000 abitanti", and the Comune records its resident population at 31 December 2025 as 9 643. 🔑 At 9 643 this is by some way the smallest comune in this family — Soliera has 15 465 and Vignola 26 240 — and the figure is also why Arpae files it under the register of plain-country municipalities below thirty thousand rather than the over-30,000 index where Formigine, Castenaso and Maranello sit.
Comune di Bagnolo in Piano (RE) — Ordinanza n° 16 del 21/09/2026, point 1 third indent for the threshold, the first point 6 for the emergency article that adds no vehicle class, and the preamble for the population figure and the national 100,000 threshold
Comune di Bagnolo in Piano (RE) — Ordinanza n° 16 del 21/09/2026, the sanctions article letters a) to c), the surcharge clause, the sixty-day payment clause and the closing article naming the enforcing bodies
Comune di Bagnolo in Piano (RE) — Ordinanza n° 16 del 21/09/2026: point 1 for the season, the clock, the vehicle list and the suspended days, the first point 6 for the emergency article, the second point 6 and point 7 for the exempt vehicles, the sanctions article for the fines and the enforcing bodies, and the preamble for the idling rule
Comune di Bagnolo in Piano (RE) — Ordinanza n° 16 del 21/09/2026, "ORDINANZA ATTUATIVA DELLE MISURE IN MATERIA DI QUALITA' DELL'ARIA – PAIR 2030, OTTOBRE 2026 – MARZO 2027", signed digitally by the Mayor, Pietro Cortenova, and published by Arpae Emilia-Romagna. This is the operative instrument: it fixes the season, the single clock, the single vehicle list, the exemptions, the penalties and the enforcing bodies
Arpae Emilia-Romagna — "Ordinanza del Comune di Bagnolo in Piano (RE)", the publisher's sub-page for this order. 🚨 Cited for a measured negative as well as for provenance: on 2026-09-30 this page carried exactly ONE PDF link, the ordinance itself. No annex, no planimetry and no map is published here — which is the finding recorded under boundary_coverage, and which was measured against the Vignola sub-page on the same index, where three distinct files are served
Arpae Emilia-Romagna — "Ordinanze comuni pianura", the index of implementing ordinances for municipalities of the plain below 30 000 inhabitants. 🚨 Cited for where this record sits in the regional harvest AND for a measured correction this record makes to its own siblings: the index is STILL GROWING. A cycle recorded it as exhausted at SIX entries on 2026-09-29; the sibling records written on 2026-09-30 recorded SEVENTEEN; and counted directly later on 2026-09-30 it carries TWENTY-FIVE. ⚠️ Exactly when the last eight appeared was not measured and is not claimed here — only that three counts days or hours apart returned three different numbers, so a count inherited from a sibling record is not a count. All eight of the names the siblings do not carry are in the province of Ravenna — Alfonsine, Bagnacavallo, Bagnara di Romagna, Conselice, Cotignola, Fusignano, Massa Lombarda and Sant’Agata sul Santerno — which is a province this corpus holds nothing from. Ten of the twenty-five have been read
OpenStreetMap contributors, queried through the Overpass API on 2026-09-30 for the checks this record states as measurements. 🔑 THE B-020 NAME CHECK IS THE THIRD DISTINCT SHAPE THIS FAMILY HAS PRODUCED, and it is recorded in full because the first two were not alike either. Asked how many ADMINISTRATIVE relations anywhere in the world are named "Bagnolo in Piano", Overpass answers TWO — and both are this place at different tiers: relation/43587 at level 8, the comune, centred 44.7846623, 10.6915868, and relation/9300582 at level 10, the capoluogo's own built-up shape, centred 44.7659525, 10.6731086, the two lying 2.541 km apart. Asked the same of PLACE NODES it answers exactly ONE, node/69301342, place=village, at 44.762967, 10.673293. Soliera answered one and two; Vignola answered one and thirty. ⚠️ The geocoder, asked from the other side, returned TWO candidates both at confidence 1.0, and they are the same pair of tiers: a locality it labels simply "Bagnolo" at 44.762397, 10.672066 and a localadmin "Bagnolo In Piano" at 44.782493, 10.678298. The locality is the anchor taken, because the order restricts a centro abitato and not a municipal territory. 🚫 The bare name "Bagnolo" is NOT safe on its own — it is a common Italian place name — and the anchor is stored under the full form the publisher uses. The containment check D-198 requires was run on the coordinate taken rather than inferred from the geocoder's fields: is_in at 44.762397, 10.672066 returns Italia at level 2 (area/3600365331), Emilia-Romagna at level 4 (area/3600042611), Reggio nell'Emilia the province at level 6 (area/3600042965), Terra di Mezzo at level 7 (area/3607531486), Bagnolo in Piano the comune at level 8 (area/3600043587) and Bagnolo in Piano again at level 10 (area/3609300582). 🔑 The level-8 containment IS the author of the act. ⚠️ The level-7 union is the FOURTH different one in this family — Formigine and Maranello sit in the Distretto Ceramico, Vignola in the Terre di Castelli, Soliera in the Terre d'Argine, and this comune in the Terra di Mezzo — and OpenStreetMap's answer agrees with the order's own text, which names the "Unione Terra di Mezzo" twice, once for its urban police regulation and once for the police force that enforces the order. 🔑 No two member comuni of these four unions have written the same order. The anchor sits 0.116 km from the place node, 0.404 km from the level-10 relation centre and 2.916 km from the level-8 relation centre, so no radius_km override is set. 🚨 The Overpass endpoint answered only on the second attempt, after two HTTP 504s — the bounded retry added in the previous cycle is what produced this result at all. © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL.
Arpae Emilia-Romagna — "Liberiamo l'aria", the regional portal for the antismog measures. Cited for the regional framework this order implements: the measures run from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, and Arpae keeps two separate ordinance registers, one for municipalities over 30 000 inhabitants and one for the plain-country municipalities below that. 🔑 This order's own preamble settles which binds it: a resident population of 9 643 at 31 December 2025, and location in the Pianura Ovest zone covered by the Court of Justice judgment of 10 November 2020
This rule ends on 2027-03-31, by the dates in the order itself. We do not re-check it after that — the page comes out of our index, and only a new order from the authority can put a rule for this road back on it.
