Sorrento to Paestum - Driving Question

We are renting a car to drive from Sorrento to Paestum taking these routes: SS145, A3, SS 18 Tirrena Inferiore, E45 and SS 18.

Are there any ZTL's along this route. Thanks

You won’t find ZTL’s on the roadways, only in cities. The only place there would be a ZTL is in Paestum. The ZTL zone is on SP276 which runs down the east side of the Archaeological site. The zones are very well marked, large signs with yellow flashing lights. If you are arriving into town on SP276 going south, there is a large parking lot on the left side of the road just before the beginning of the ZTL.

We were at Paestum the last day of April, this year.
It was a great day! loved it.

We took the bus there from Salerno (we got done with a leisurely breakfast too late for the trains (end around 10 AM?)
We took the train back to Salerno (the trains run every hour)

What I'm getting at is to say "we didn't drive there, so I am speaking from looking at Google maps.
SS18 goes north/south on the east side of the train tracks.
The exit that is even with the ruins does not cross the tracks.
It looks like you may need to exit SS18 at Capaccio Scalo and take Via Magna Graecia south to the ruins.

We were there, perhaps, for 5 hours and didn't reserve enough time for the archaeology museum - it was much better than I expected. "Yes, the Naples one is better, but ...."
