ANAS Ordinance 340\/2019 regulates the alternate license plate traffic system along State Road 163 \u201cAmalfitana\u201d. Here is how it works, including the 2026 updates.<\/p>\n
Please note that the ANAS ordinance officially states that the alternate license plate system applies from June 15 to September 30. However, following subsequent ordinances issued by the municipalities of the Amalfi Coast, after the initial periods covering Easter and the public holidays between Liberation Day and May Day, the restrictions begin on June 1 and end on October 31, according to the rules outlined below.<\/p>\n
Where the alternate license plate system applies on the Amalfi Coast<\/p>\n
It is important to clarify exactly where these restrictions apply. The ordinance concerns only State Road 163 Amalfitana (SS163), which is approximately 40 km long. It begins in Vietri sul Mare and ends in Positano, passing through Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Atrani, Amalfi, Conca dei Marini, Furore and Praiano.<\/p>\n
All other roads in the area are excluded from the alternate license plate restrictions. For example, the Provincial Road leading to the Chiunzi Pass, including its two branches towards Maiori and Ravello, and Regional Road SR 366 Agerolina are not affected.<\/p>\n
How the alternate license plate system works<\/p>\n
On even-numbered dates, vehicles whose license plate\u2019s last numerical digit is even CANNOT circulate.<\/p>\n

When in effect, the alternate license plate restrictions apply from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Outside these hours, vehicles may travel along State Road 163 Amalfitana without these restrictions.<\/p>\n
Two-wheeled vehicles are not affected by the ordinance, including motorcycles and scooters.<\/p>\n
