  1. Taxis are obliged to register for access either in advance or within 6 days of transit, sending an email to [email protected], to avoid incurring an administrative penalty. Drivers must provide: vehicle registration certificate, taxi licence, ID, date of transit. This procedure will allow the vehicle to be added to the lists of vehicles permitted for subsequent transits.
  2. For chauffeur driven hire cars (known as N.C.C.) access to the preferential lane is allowed only for the purposes of stopping to allow passengers to disembark only in specifically dedicated areas at departures. Passenger embarkation and parking are prohibited, as is stopping outside of the above areas. N.C.C. operators are obliged to register for access to the preferential lane either in advance or within 6 days of transit, sending an email to [email protected], to avoid incurring an administrative penalty. Drivers must provide: vehicle registration certificate, rental licence, ID, date of transit. This procedure will allow the vehicle to be added to the lists of vehicles permitted for subsequent transits. Following agreement with Organisations in the Passenger Transport Sector of 01.02.2017, suitable areas for passenger embarkation have been identified at car parks P1 and P2, with special discounted tariffs.
  3. The Municipalised Business that provides scheduled bus services must regulate their accesses to the preferential lane in advance or within 6 days of transit, supplying SACBO S.p.A. with information about their buses.

If there is a change in any of the registration plates previously supplied, companies must regulate their access to the preferential lane in advance, or within 6 days of transit, supplying the new data to SACBO S.p.A.. This procedure will allow the vehicles to be added to the lists of vehicles permitted for subsequent transits.

Vehicles needing to travel along the preferential lane must not exceed the maximum allowable height from the lane's roof structure. In particular, the drivers of buses and maintenance vehicles must ensure that the height of their vehicle does not exceed the maximum allowed.

Once the vehicle has accessed the preferential lane, the driver must follow the direction of traffic shown on road signage and respect the road traffic regulations. The vehicle must remain in the spaces allocated to them.

In view of the limited space available and priority of security needs, the parking of vehicles must be limited to the time necessary to fulfil institutional obligations or to carry out service.
