Setbacks
Building setback from a road and the roadside strip
Italy
National civil-law rules are only a baseline. Check the regional rules and the current municipal planning instrument before fixing the zone.
Distances and rules
A public road has red lines and a building setback. Near a street the building is set back from the red line; along regional or federal roads a wider roadside strip restricts construction. A public road is part of the urban-development plan — unlike a garden path.
