On many streets in Rome, Florence and Venice (Italy), temporary traffic lights have been installed to control crowds, prevent tourists from taking selfies and obstruct the flow of people.
In addition, to avoid traffic congestion, the authorities of the coastal city of Amalfi have controlled the number of vehicles by limiting vehicles with even and odd license plates from entering certain small streets at the same time.
Meanwhile, the island of Capri has started charging entrance fees based on regulations introduced by Venice earlier this year. On weekends and holidays, visitors will have to pay double the usual fee.
Meanwhile, at some mountain destinations in the Trentino region of northern Italy, authorities are using devices to monitor the number of hikers and say they will close overcrowded trails.
The above moves are Italy's latest effort to reduce the number of tourists, overcoming the painful overtourism problem in this country during the past summer, according to CNN .

Several beaches on the island of Sardinia, which has seen record numbers of visitors this summer, have banned the use of rocks to anchor beach umbrellas. Local authorities say visitors will be fined 500 euros (about $550 ) if they fail to comply.
Meanwhile, the mayor of the northeastern region of Olbia, Sardinia, has banned night swimming, camping on the beach, and bonfires. Even the use of chairs and towels overnight has been banned to curb all-night revelry.
Elsewhere, stricter rules apply. In Sassari in northwestern Sardinia, the music must stop at 2am, and in the resorts of Platamona, Porto Ferro and Argentiera, the music stops at 3am.

Italy's tourism minister, Daniele Santache, said it was "blasphemy" to call Italy overtourism. She said Italy was working on its management to prepare for a continued surge in visitors in the coming years.
“For me, overtourism is blasphemy, the real problem lies in the way we manage and operate as we have started to do since the formation of the government,” she told the local newspaper. She said the government is preparing to adapt to future challenges.
Like many other countries in the world, Italy is facing the problem of overtourism during the peak season. This negatively affects the quality of life of the people residing in the destinations as well as the quality of the vacation for tourists.
