The L.T.Z. area is 3,2 km 2 and roughly corresponds to the city s historic centre. The L.T.Z. restrictions are in force from 7.00 to 20.00; this system automatically issues a fine to car drivers not authorised to access the L.T.Z.. RITA: The municipality has activated another IT system called RITA (14 cameras) to control the bus lanes 24 hours a day, and the T area (situated within the L.T.Z.) to avoid unauthorised entry into the historic centre.
