The town is easily walkable, though it expands over more than 183.000 square meters. In the historic centre, closed by an imaginary line where the city wall once stood, we find the most important buildings.The town is crossed by a fundamental street, the Emilia way, the historic Roman way that once connected Modena with other important towns and cities of the Region, and that still represents one of the main traffic ways in Italy. The street runs right through the middle of the town, in an east-west direction.
Taxis
A radio taxi service is available 24-7, also for trips in the Province or even farther. The services include booking by SMS and services for disabled people.

Private Means Of Transport
The whole historic centre of Modena is a restricted area ZTL, meaning only residents, commercial operators or tourists staying at hotels in the centre and with a special permit can go there. The access is regulated by an automatic system, named Modena City Pass, which allows local police to monitor the access of cars and motorbikes through a network of webcams placed at the main access points; these webcams are always on and continuously register the number plate of passing cars, sending the information to an automatic control and alerting system.
In other areas, parking is in part free identified by a white line and in part with fee blue line; the amount of the fee depends on the city area. Payments can be made with coins by nearby park meters; on Sundays and public holidays parking is free. Alternatively, payments can be made with a prepaid card 20 â¬, to be purchased at ACI Automobil Club Italia offices or at some tobacconist's in the town centre. Parking is usually free at night generally 8 p.m. - 8 a.m..
