Autostrada

In 2003, new speed limits were brought in. This photo shows a recent sign. The limits are: 130 kilometers per hour on the Autostrada, 110 on main highways, 90 outside of towns, 50 in towns. Other signs are posted indicating lower limits in effect for bad weather conditions.

剛剛跟威爺在研究怎麼到義大利婚禮跟住的地方, 從網上看到Autostrada, 於是想說什麼是Autostrada, 原來是高速公路. Autostrada is the Italian word for motorways/freeways, but is used in several countries including Poland and Romania. Italy's Autostrada has one of the highest speed limits in Europe, excluding the German Autobahn. The speed limit varies but 130 km/h (~80 mph) is common; with the limits for trucks being lower. Design of the major links started in the 1950's and much of the construction was done in the 1960's.
