Rome: Main mobility problems and difficulties 1) The centripetal structure of the city; 2) Pressure of systematic and non-systematic travels to city central areas for business, leisure, shopping; 3) Few parking places in the city centre; 4) The limited metro extension; 5) Intense use of mopeds and motorcycles; 6) Impact of special fleets, like lorries and coaches.
