BY CAR
As in the rest of continental Europe, vehicles travel on the right and overtake on the left. Italy uses international road signs, National motorways signs are indicated by the letter A followed by a number written in white on a green background. They are subject to tolls, except south Salerno, Bari, Brindisi and Lecce. Regional motorways signs are indicated by letters SP (strada provinciale) followed by a number written in white on a blue background. Travelling by car could be a fantastic opportunity for those who want to be free to choose their own route, from the slower, panoramic roads to the faster motorway. Obviously, we recommend to pay a lot of attention, double-check your route before you travel and to consider time for possible delays and breaks.
