Imagine a Rome where historic squares are transformed into pedestrian oases, free of cars and horns. The Rome Council has approved an innovative Traffic Plan that identifies six environmental islands in the historic center — Portico d’Ottavia, Navona, Pantheon, Tridente, Trevi-Quirinale and Ansa Barocca — and four new pedestrianization projects such as Via del Portico d’Ottavia, Via dei Banchi Nuovi, Via del Governo Vecchio-Piazza Pasquino and Via Giulia.
The implementation of this plan not only aims to improve road safety and reduce accidents, but also contributes to the creation of more livable and sustainable spaces.
An increasingly mindful Rome
These new projects align perfectly with the EU’s 2030 climate goals, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions and promote more sustainable mobility.
With 80 planned 30 km/h zones, Rome is about to become a model of sustainability. Slowing traffic means cleaner air and safer spaces for walking and socializing, contributing to a stronger and more vibrant community fabric.
For a better future
Looking to the future, these initiatives could become a symbol of a new Rome: a city that celebrates its history while embracing a modern, inclusive environment. It is a first step toward a Capital that breathes better and prepares for a greener, safer future for all.
