Thousands of travellers make the their way to Italy each year to enjoy the stunning scenery of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast but the winding roads of this iconic destination means the surge in tourists leads to traffic and access problems. And a law has been put in place to control traffic during the high season and prevent overcrowding. The new rules, explained by travel experts at Capri.com, will ban certain tourists depending on their car licence plate when travelling in the area. The advice said: "During summer 2023, the road space rationing system of alternating license plates will be active on State Route 145 (SS 145) between Vico Equense and Sorrento. "This means that on even-numbered days, cars with license plates that end in an even number are not allowed to circulate, and on odd-numbered days, vehicles with license plates that end in an odd number are not allowed to circulate. "From June 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023 the ordinance is in effect every day from 8 am to 7 pm.' But the statement does say that residents, commuters, and tourists with reservations in accommodation facilities on the Sorrento Peninsula are exempt from this ordinance. This same restrictions are in place on the Amalfi Coast. The advice added: " The same road space rationing system described above is also in effect along State Route 163 (SS 163). Alternate-day travel is in force from 10 am to 6 pm between June 15-September 30. Residents, commuters, and hotel guests with reservations are exempt." It comes as southern Europe is hit with extreme temperatures, with British tourists being advised to take care.
