Hi Pete,

80 cars/day max.
15 euro/car. There will be permanent checkpoints.
Vehicle dimensions : l max 5,5m, h max 2,5m, w max 2m including mirrors.
no trailers.
One person can ask permission for max 2 cars.
I copied this. from their website (

On the stretch of road between the place called The Shuttle (Phylum to Upega - Briga Alta Municipality) and the locality Cabanaira (Municipality of Limone Piemonte), access and traffic on the road to all vehicles engine are prohibited except grant a specific authorization of movement;
The traffic authorizations can be issued according to the category of users and are either seasonal or temporary or daily;
Daily permits are issued to two access points and control located at a place called The Shuttle (Phylum to Upega - Briga Alta Municipality) and the locality Cabanaira (Municipality of Limone Piemonte); they are subject to a fee towards the costs of management and maintenance of the territory served by the road which users must pay in cash at the time of access on the road: 15 € for cars (limited to 80 cars per day) and 10 € for other motor vehicles (motorcycles, quads, etc., limited to 140 per day).
