Milan Blind Spot Resolution

Vehicles in categories M2, M3, N2 and N3 must be equipped with systems capable of detecting pedestrians and cyclists near the front of the vehicle and on the pavement side. The system must alert the driver using an audible, visual or tactile warning. The vehicle category appears in field J of the registration document.

Register the vehicle on the Area B portal and select the permit request for the blind-spot access restriction, shown as “Area B Divieto di accesso angolo cieco”. After entering the vehicle category and registration number, upload the registration document and a declaration from the installer stating the system’s make and model, registration number and vehicle identification number. A manufacturer’s declaration may be required if the system was fitted as original equipment. The process should be completed before entering the restricted traffic zone.

M2 covers passenger vehicles with more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat and a maximum mass not exceeding 5 tonnes. M3 covers equivalent passenger vehicles with a maximum mass exceeding 5 tonnes. N2 covers goods vehicles with a maximum mass exceeding 3.5 tonnes but not exceeding 12 tonnes. N3 covers goods vehicles with a maximum mass exceeding 12 tonnes. More info about these categories can be found here.

A non-compliant vehicle entering Area B may be detected automatically by the access-point cameras. Enforcement for vehicles without the required systems has been active since 1 October 2024. Under Article 7(14) of the Italian Highway Code, breaching a restricted traffic zone prohibition generally carries an administrative fine of between €83 and €332. The applicable amount should be checked at the time of the offence.
