Pink parking spaces ("stalli rosa") launched in Turin
Date of the event:
On 11 November 2026 Turin launches a trial of "stalli rosa" ("pink spaces"): twenty parking spaces reserved for pregnant women and parents of children up to two years old, created in Districts (Circoscrizioni) 4 and 7. From that date, the related permit can be requested through the City of Turin's Torino Facile portal [1][2].
How it works
The permit allows free parking, for up to two hours, in the dedicated spaces. The spaces are marked by yellow road markings, pink vertical signs and a pavement pictogram, as well as by the logo of Torino Famiglia, the City's project dedicated to families [1][2].
The parking spaces have been placed near places frequented by families, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, family counselling centres (consultori), registry offices, district offices and swimming pools [1][2].
Requirements and procedure
Residents of Districts 4 and 7 may apply. The permit is intended for pregnant women, on presentation of the required medical documentation, and for parents of children up to two years old. The permit is personal and reserved for the expectant mother or the parents: it cannot be requested or used by other relatives, such as grandparents or aunts and uncles. One permit is issued per pregnant woman or per child [1][2].
The application is submitted online through the Torino Facile portal; the permit is then collected from the Circulation Permits and Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) office, in piazza San Giovanni 5. Improper use carries withdrawal of the permit and the penalties set out in the Highway Code [1][2].
Duration and prospects
The trial will run for 24 months, during which the service's operation and the level of use of the spaces will be monitored, to assess a possible gradual extension to the rest of the city. The choice of the two districts reflects requests made by their respective Councils through specific resolutions [1][2].
The councillor for Mobility, Chiara Foglietta, said: «With the "stalli rosa" we want to make getting around a little easier for those who are pregnant or have small children, offering a service that meets an everyday need. We are starting with Districts 4 and 7, listening to the needs of the area and checking how effective the measure is» [1].
The permit issued by the City of Turin is also recognised in the "stalli rosa" of other municipalities, including Ivrea and Venaria Reale [1][2].
