I've read to drive through Bagnoregio and to park under the pedestrian bridge to visit Civita. I wanted to double check that there is not a ZTL that I need to avoid and that I do what seems obvious on the map - drive straight down the main street?
Also, double checking, a sign with a red circle on white followed by a second sign picturing large vehicles means that campers and buses are not allowed, right? It would not apply to my little car?
Sarah,
Just to clarify, you'll be parking at the entrance to the bridge to Civita, rather than under it. Unfortunately I don't know how to post screen shots on this website or I could provide an example. I believe the parking is pay-per-use but it's been a few years so can't remember.
You don't have to drive right into city centre of Bagnoregio, so there shouldn't be any ZTL areas. Some of the streets are quite narrow, so it's good you'll have a small car. There are some signs that with a circle and diagonal stripe that state Ambo i Lati, but I believe those are a parking restriction (hopefully Roberto or one of the others can confirm that).
This website has a good description of the signs....

Happy travels!
Ken,
Thanks for the link. I'm familiar with the blue with red sign indicating no parking, but saw the dreaded image I have come to know as a ZTL sign while using Google earth Street View in Bagnoregio. It was followed by the picture of a truck and camper, though, so I am hoping that this is a no trucks and campers allowed sign?
I will look again on Googel Earth for the way you mentioned to NOT go through the centre, as it IS very narrow!
We were there last May and parked without issues, though it is a little confusing to find. I would just say to keep going until you actually see the bridge as you can park right near it. We unfortunately didn't realize there was a closer lot, so we had to walk further.
