Tomorrow will be a car-free Sunday for the city of Rome. This is the third ecological Sunday of the “autumn winter” 2023 2024 season and involves, as always, the blocking of traffic within the green belt [qui la mappa].
Traffic block times
The stop times are set by theordinance signed by the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri. The time of the ban will be from 7.30am to 11.30am and then from 4.30pm to 8.30pm. There has been a change in the timetable, announced late afternoon today, Saturday 13 January. The reason is provided by the Campidoglio: “This modification follows the request of the Local Police of Rome Capital aimed at guaranteeing better management of aspects of public order in view of the scheduled events, including the Lazio-Lecce football match at Olympic stadium with the influx of many spectators also coming from Puglia”.
Euro 6 petrol cars, electric cars, hybrid cars, LPG cars, methane cars, Bi-Fuel cars and cars with disabled permits will be able to circulate. Green light also for sharing service vehicles, for 2-wheel mopeds (50cc) with 4-stroke Euro 2 and later engines and for 4-stroke Euro 3 and later motorbikes.

Furthermore, throughout the entire municipal territory, among the measures aimed at containing polluting emissions, the provisions of union ordinance no. 114 of 10.31.23 on the use of domestic heating systems for a maximum of 11 hours per day and one temperature no higher than 19°C (+2°C tolerance). Furthermore, greater checks have been arranged throughout the municipal territory to ensure compliance with the rules relating to the “ban on open burning”.
Air quality
This ecological Sunday comes at the right time. In fact, on Monday 8 January, two managerial decisions were issued which are adopted when the pollution level in Rome exceeds the warning threshold. For this reason, for today, Tuesday 9 January, and tomorrow, Wednesday 10 January, Romans are invited to “opt for the use of public transport” avoiding as much as possible “the use of private motor vehicles”. Indications also on how to drive: “moderate speed, keep the engine off if not necessary, carry out periodic maintenance of the vehicle in order to guarantee correct functioning of the engine and the vehicle as a whole”. Finally, it is recommended to opt for “using the bicycle” or, again, going “on foot”.
When are the next eco Sundays scheduled?
After tomorrow January 14th, two more ecological Sundays are scheduled, February 25th and March 24th.
