In force in Soliera right nowTuesday, 13 October 2026 at 11:04 · Europe/Rome
Lifts Tuesday, 13 October 2026 at 18:30 local time.
🚨 There is exactly one rule in this timetable and that is the finding, not an omission. Soliera's 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 Soliera on every day of the season. That is not true at Formigine, Castenaso, Maranello or Piacenza.
The emergency article, point 6, is real and has two limbs, but neither reaches a vehicle: the Arpae bulletin for the Province of Modena 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 does not say either: it refers the area to a plan that is not published. A vehicle on the banned list can be entirely lawful at every hour in this table.
🚨 The timetable cannot carry the harshest rule in this order, which is not about time at all: failing to produce the document an exemption depends on counts as the driving offence itself. See the penalty and steps.
Operating times only, read from the source below. It does not check your vehicle.
Soliera closes the built-up area at its centre 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 €678, with fifteen to thirty days' licence suspension for a repeat offence within two years. 🔑 ONE VEHICLE LIST, ONE CLOCK — the second order in this corpus built that way, and the first was published one day earlier eighteen kilometres away.
Like Vignola's, this order names no ecological Sundays: the phrase occurs once in the preamble, describing what Move-In does not cover, and never in the operative part.
Its emergency article, point 6, is triggered by the Arpae bulletin for the Province of Modena and imposes two measures, 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 a reader carrying Formigine's, Castenaso's, Maranello's or Piacenza's Sunday calendar across will over-restrict themselves. 🚨 AND THE PAPERWORK RULE IS HARSHER HERE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE FAMILY, WHICH IS THE FINDING A VISITOR CAN ACTUALLY BE CAUGHT BY.
Where the neighbouring orders punish misuse of an exemption document with a smaller separate fine, this one says that failing to produce it, or using it improperly, "equivale al mancato rispetto del divieto di circolazione" — it counts as the driving offence itself, and carries the same €168 to €678. 🔑 The 20% late-payment surcharge then reaches that fine, because the surcharge clause names "lettere a), b)" and the circulation fine is letter a).
At Formigine the same clause deliberately excludes it. ⚠️ The order identifies the restricted area only on "la planimetria costituente l'allegato n. 1", and no annex is published.
Arpae's page for Soliera carries one file, the ordinance.
Comune di Soliera (MO) — Ordinanza n. 19 del 29/09/2026, signed digitally by the Mayor, Caterina Bagni, 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 built-up area its unpublished plan is said to draw, 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.
The one route by which a banned vehicle can be authorised is Move-In, the regional telematics scheme, which fits a black box and allows a monitored annual mileage allowance instead of a flat prohibition, on the terms of Annexes A, B and C to regional decision DGR n. 1493 of 22/09/2025 as applied here by the Comune's own earlier ordinanza n.
38 del 01/10/2025. 🔑 Its reach here is the wide one, and for the same structural reason as at Vignola rather than as a concession. Point 8 letter d) excludes Move-In vehicles from the point 1 ban with no narrowing words — none of the "solo relativamente alle limitazioni strutturali" clause that Formigine and Castenaso attach.
The preamble does recite the regional caveat, that Move-In "non consente la circolazione dei veicoli ad esso aderenti in caso di attivazione delle misure emergenziali di limitazione della circolazione e in occasione delle domeniche ecologiche, ove adottate con specifica ordinanza". ⚠️ Read against this order the caveat has nothing to bite on: Soliera adopts no ecological Sunday, and its emergency article imposes no circulation limitation.
"Ove adottate" — where adopted — is doing the work. Move-In is in any case a scheme for vehicles registered in the participating regions rather than something a foreign visitor can buy on arrival, and neither the order nor the regional decision states a price in the documents read here, so none is given.
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 dates in its own subject line, "NEL TERRITORIO COMUNALE DAL 1/10/2026 AL 31/03/2027". 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, again with no December; Maranello names none and instead declares every Sunday of the season.
Vignola, one day before this order and eighteen kilometres away, has none — and Soliera is the second of that kind rather than the first. 🚨 NOR IS THERE AN EMERGENCY CIRCULATION BAN, though the machinery for one is fully built.
Point 6 sets up the familiar trigger: the Arpae bulletin issued on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, measured "nell'ambito territoriale della Provincia di Modena", 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. 🔑 That is a slightly fuller emergency article than Vignola's, which has only the slurry limb — and it still reaches no driver. THE SUSPENDED DAYS ARE FOUR, AND THAT IS THE SHORTEST LIST IN THE FAMILY: 8 and 25 December 2026, and 1 and 6 January 2027, the order citing table 16 of the PAIR 2030 general report.
The ban is also suspended on any day of a local public transport strike. ⚠️ All four bite, which is unusual and is worth stating because the neighbouring records had to warn the opposite.
Checked against the calendar on 2026-09-30: 8 December 2026 is a Tuesday, 25 December a Friday, 1 January 2027 a Friday and 6 January a Wednesday — every one of them a working day inside the season. 🔑 Where Formigine and Vignola pad their lists with weekend dates that cannot touch a Monday-to-Friday rule, this one names only days that can. ⚠️ But the list is also the shortest, and two absences are worth naming: 1 November 2026 is not on it, and neither is any patron saint's day.
1 November 2026 is a Sunday, so nothing turns on it; Vignola's 13 October, by contrast, is a Tuesday on which Vignola lifts the ban and Soliera does not. Easter Monday, 29 March 2027, is a working Monday inside the season and is not suspended here either.
Comune di Soliera (MO) — Ordinanza n. 19 del 29/09/2026: the subject line, point 1 for the season, the weekday window, the suspended days and the strike clause, point 6 for the emergency article, and the preamble for the sole mention of ecological Sundays
One built-up area — "l'area del centro abitato di Soliera" — and the order does not describe it in words at all. Point 1 restricts circulation in that area "come da planimetria costituente l'allegato n. 1", and point 7 repeats the referral: the area "è individuata nella planimetria costituente l'allegato n.
1". 🚫 AND THAT PLAN IS NOT PUBLISHED, WHICH WAS MEASURED RATHER THAN ASSUMED. Arpae's page for Soliera carries exactly ONE link, the ordinance itself.
There is no "Allegato 1" link beside it — which is the opposite of the Vignola sub-page one entry away on the same index, where the annex is a separate 927 789-byte file and turns out to be a real 1:10.000 plan. The ordinance PDF contains no map either: scripts/pdf-images.py finds ten image objects and all ten are the same 198 × 79 pixel header device, one per page.
So there is nothing to read and nothing to look at. ⚠️ THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT THIS RECORD CANNOT TELL A DRIVER WHERE THE EDGE IS, AND SAYING SO IS THE POINT. Three of the twelve orders in this family describe their perimeter: Formigine names eleven roads that stay open, Vignola annexes a drawing whose legend marks the boundary and labels five road crossings, and Soliera does neither.
The practical test on the ground is the one the Highway Code gives and which every one of these orders 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. 🚫 The comune is not a stand-in. relation/43525, "Soliera", spans 9.74 km north to south by 8.34 km east to west, most of it farmland on the plain north of the town, against a centro abitato that is a small fraction of it.
A third party's municipal shape is a drawing of a different question. Soliera is warned from its city anchor instead. 🔑 One thing the order does settle is which territory the duty comes from: the preamble records that Soliera "è ubicato 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 Soliera (MO) — Ordinanza n. 19 del 29/09/2026, point 1 and point 7 for the referral to the unpublished plan, 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 Soliera (MO) — Ordinanza n. 19 del 29/09/2026, 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 Soliera on a Tuesday, on a Sunday and during an air-quality alert alike. 🚫 A reader who has learned the neighbouring shape will believe otherwise and will over-restrict themselves, which is the safer error but still an error this page should correct. ⚠️ 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 Soliera, 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 Soliera records its resident population at 1 January 2026 as 15 465. 🔑 That figure is also why this record's publisher index is the one it is — Arpae files Soliera under the register of plain-country municipalities below thirty thousand, not under the over-30,000 index where Formigine, Castenaso and Maranello sit.
At 15 465 it is the smallest comune in this family by some way; Vignola, on the same register, has 26 240.
Comune di Soliera (MO) — Ordinanza n. 19 del 29/09/2026, point 1 third indent for the threshold, point 6 for the emergency article that adds no vehicle class, and the preamble for the population figure and the national 100,000 threshold

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 Soliera (MO)", 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 link, the ordinance PDF. The plan that points 1 and 7 of the order name as "allegato n. 1" is not published here or anywhere else this project can reach — which is the finding recorded under boundary_coverage, and which was measured against the Vignola sub-page on the same index the same day, 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 correction to this project's own earlier reading: on 2026-09-29 a cycle recorded this index as exhausted at six entries; on 2026-09-30 it carries SEVENTEEN. Soliera and Vignola are the first two of the eleven new names to be read. Nine remain: Bagnolo in Piano (RE), Baricella (BO), Cadelbosco di Sopra (RE), Castelnovo di Sotto (RE), Castelvetro Piacentino (PC), Rio Saliceto (RE), San Giovanni in Persiceto (BO), Santarcangelo di Romagna (RN) and Verucchio (RN)
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 clean at both tiers, which is the Castenaso shape rather than the Vignola one: exactly ONE administrative relation worldwide is named "Soliera", relation/43525 at level 8 centred 44.7484743, 10.9434648, and only TWO place nodes carry the name — node/69300566, place=town, at 44.7383497, 10.9247932, which is this Soliera, and one hamlet 89.6 km away in the Apennines. The geocoder agreed from the other side and returned a single candidate at confidence 1. The containment check D-198 requires was run on the coordinate taken rather than inferred from the geocoder's fields: is_in at 44.735739, 10.923752 returns Italia at level 2 (area/3600365331), Emilia-Romagna at level 4 (area/3600042611), Modena the province at level 6 (area/3600042884), Unione delle Terre d'Argine at level 7 (area/3606534560) and Soliera the comune at level 8 (area/3600043525). 🔑 The level-8 containment IS the author of the act. ⚠️ The level-7 union is the THIRD 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 — three unions, and no two of their member comuni wrote the same order. The anchor sits 0.302 km from the place=town node and 2.105 km from the relation centre; relation/43525 spans 9.74 km north to south by 8.34 km east to west and its furthest bounding-box corner is 8.50 km from the anchor, inside the 20 km default band, so no radius_km override is set. © 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. 🔑 Soliera's own preamble settles which binds it: a resident population of 15 465 at 1 January 2026, 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.
