Changes to road traffic and parking

Aggiornato al: 24/04/2024

Road traffic will undergo significant changes in the three days of the National Alpini Rally (10, 11 and 12 May.) Considering the high number of participants, these changes are necessary for the safety of everyone.

The area where the event will take place will be divided into three areas, corresponding to three colors:

• the red area, which includes the historic center of the city within the walls

• the orange area, between the historic center and viale D'Alviano, viale Rodolfi and viale Margherita

• the yellow area, in the west and south-west part of the city

 

CHECK OUT THE MAP WITH THE THREE AREAS

List of roads closed to traffic: red area, orange area, yellow area


RED AREA

The red area corresponds to the part of the historic center most affected by the event. Here, from 7 a.m. on Friday 10 May until the end of the event on the evening of Sunday 12 May there will be a ban on the circulation and parking of vehicles (cars, motorcycles, scooters.) All roads in the area must be left free from any parked vehicle. Residents and domiciled residents who have a subscription to park in the blue or yellow lines can use the the same subscription to park in the Canove and Fogazzaro car parks (both in the red zone) that are reachable via a specific route, or in the Bassano car park by the stadium and the Fratelli Bandiera one next to the supermarket. During the three days of the event, in the red area it will not be possible to move vehicles from the internal parking areas or garages.

ORANGE AREA

The orange area corresponds to the northern part of the historic centre between the Bacchiglione river and the ring of avenues of viale D'Alviano, via Fratelli Bandiera, via Rodolfi, via Ceccarini, via Legione Gallieno and viale Margherita. Here, from 7 a.m. on Friday 10 May until the end of the event on the evening of Sunday 12 May there will be a ban on the circulation and parking of vehicles (cars, motorcycles, scooters).

In this area, only residents can drive and park - even along the road - by requesting a permit which will show the license plate number at the Rally headquarters in Palazzo Folco, in contrà S. Marco 30 or online.
