Thanks.
BTW, yesterday I got a letter from Avis: Euro 10 (incl. fees & tax) for entering "Centro Storico in Perugia" in August 2006. I guess, the fine in Rome is higher?!
In Rome I avoided a fine, I just stopped before the "check-point", reversed back and went another street. Actually, I saw only one of those "check-points" in Rome ... and hope, that I didn't miss any...
Thanks for posting this link ... I bookmarked it.
No, you cannot enter the zone outside the red circle, the other possible entrances are because you would enter a one-way on the wrong side...
10 Euro is only for the administrative fee because Avis use the affidavit-way permitted by the new traffic law to forward your information to the police and consequently "transfer" the fine. I don't know about Perugia but Rome would let it go and not collect it. In my experience, Hertz pay and simply charge your credit card.
BTW: If you really need to enter, the best way is on Via Vittorio Veneto where you can drive on the other side of the street and "miss" the camera
