August 15, 2008, Newsletter Issue #175: The Auto Strada

Tip of the Week

The Auto Strada (green signs) is a 2-3 split highway and are generally toll roads costing between 2500 lire and 16,500 lire depending on the distance between toll plazas. Sometimes you pay the clerk directly for the toll, sometimes collect a ticket and pay later. The Autostrada is Italy´s equivalent to the German Autobahn. Beware, drivers in fast European cars pass as if you are standing still, even when your car is moving at the speed of 120 kmh (70 miles per hour)! Stay to the right on all highways unless you want to pass.
