The blue parking stripes in Salerno indicate regulated paid street parking areas, present in various parts of the city to manage traffic and encourage vehicle turnover.
They are widespread in the historic center, along the seafront, in commercial areas and in various residential neighborhoods. The system is designed to ensure greater availability of parking spaces in the most frequented areas and reduce prolonged parking in strategic locations.
Parking regulations are established by the Municipality of Salerno, while operational management is entrusted to Salerno Mobilità. Rates, hours, and conditions may vary depending on the area, day, and time slot: for this reason, the vertical signage next to the parking space is always the official reference.

The blue parking stripes in Salerno are divided into 9 tariff areas, each with specific rules.
The main differences concern: • The cost of the first half hour or the first hour. • The cost of subsequent hours. • The possibility (or not) to divide the first hour. • The area of the city where you park.
In some areas, the first hour cannot be divided, while from the second hour onwards the rate becomes divisible. In this case too, always refer to the vertical signs located next to the parking space.
