Milan delays fashion district traffic restrictions until September

Milan's new traffic restriction zone (ZTL) in the fashion district will delay the start of enforcement until mid-September to allow for adjustments. The city will assess traffic flow data and consider modifications to the plan. The postponement follows a 21% decrease in visitors to the area between May 12th and June 29th, according to a Deloitte study. The delay allows for dialogue with businesses and citizens, who have proposed changes to the ZTL. The decision has drawn mixed reactions, with business groups welcoming the delay and some opposition parties calling for the ZTL to be scrapped entirely. The city aims to ensure the measure is effective and doesn't harm the area's appeal.
