> So, in Italy, the owner of a private parking lot is not allowed to say that his parking lot can't be used as a public street?  It is common in the USA to see signs at parking-lot entrances saying "no through traffic".

I wouldn't say he's not allowed. AFAIK (and Google seems to confirm
this), it's not a default restriction. The parking of the condominium
where I live in has a sign forbidding public access, but it's
dead-ended and only leads to our garages, so it's not a fitting
example. In my town we regularly go through a mall's parking to go
from a large primary to the residential streets nearby, rather than
going further along the primary and then back on another large street.

There may be a similar restriction in Italy, but I've never seen it.
Mind that I'm not referring only to it not being enforced.
