Italy: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Ozzano dell'Emilia has one driving restriction on our books: the Limitazioni alla circolazione a Ozzano dell'Emilia (BO) — provvedimenti… (low emission zone). What is a low emission zone?

Ozzano dell'Emilia, a comune of the Città Metropolitana di Bologna, closes its built-up area to older vehicles for the 2026-2027 winter under Ordinanza del Sindaco n. 138 of 29 September 2026, signed for the Mayor by the Deputy Mayor, Mariangela Corrado, and published by Arpae Emilia-Romagna.
There is no charge and no permit to buy: a vehicle is either allowed in or it is not. 🔑 THE SUNDAY RULE IS STRICTER THAN THE WEEKDAY RULE, AND THIS IS THE SECOND ORDER IN THE FAMILY MEASURED TO RUN THAT WAY. Monday to Friday, 08:30–18:30, the ban reaches diesel up to Euro 4.
On the order's twenty-four named ecological Sundays, in the same window, it reaches diesel up to Euro 5 — one generation further. The petrol, LPG/petrol, methane/petrol, moped and motorcycle lists are identical in both: Euro 0 to Euro 2. A diesel Euro 5 may therefore drive through the zone on a Tuesday and may not on the Sunday after it.
San Lazzaro di Savena, read immediately before this record, is the other. 🚫 Two orders is an observation, not a property of the family. 🔑 AND THE SUNDAYS ARE PRINTED AS DATES, NOT AS A FORMULA.
Point 3 lists twenty-four of them, 04/10/2026 through 21/03/2027. Recomputing the calendar rather than trusting the count: all twenty-four are genuinely Sundays, none repeats, the season contains twenty-six, and the two that are absent are 1 November 2026 and 28 March 2027 — both of which point 2 separately names among the suspended days.
Two independent mechanisms agree on both dates. ⚠️ The order also declines an option the PAIR gives it: the recital notes that the Sunday scheme may be suspended between 1 December and 6 January, and this order suspends none of those five Sundays.
The zone is one connected area — the centro abitato of Ozzano dell'Emilia, including the Zona Studentato lobe that joins it along via Nardi Ettore — drawn on an annexed plan the order makes part of itself. Five named road itineraries are carved out of the ban so that the park-and-ride car parks stay reachable.
Emergency measures, when Arpae's bulletin calls for them, widen the window to 08:00–19:00 and add diesel Euro 5 to the weekday list. ⚠️ Move-In does not help on a Sunday. Point 10(d) exempts vehicles enrolled in the regional Move-In telematics scheme "Solo relativamente alle limitazioni strutturali di cui al punto 1" — the Monday-to-Friday ban only.
On an ecological Sunday and under emergency measures the enrolment buys nothing. 🚨 NOTHING IN THIS DOCUMENT CAN BE WATCHED BY ITS TEXT, AND THAT IS A PROPERTY OF THE FILE RATHER THAN OF THE PUBLISHER. Every font in the ordinance is a Type0 subset in Identity-H encoding with no /ToUnicode map, so the character codes in the file are glyph numbers and no conformant reader can turn them back into words.
The pages render as crisp vector text and extract as nothing: 34,482 strings are dropped on that ground, and the needles "Ozzano", "ORDINANZA", "EURO 5" and "678" all miss on both readers this project has. The record therefore watches the file's bytes instead of its sentences, and the facts below were read from rendered images of the pages.
The fine for breaching the circulation limits is an administrative penalty of €168.00 to €678.00, with the licence suspended for fifteen to thirty days on a repeat within two years.
