Autostrada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Autostrada sign

Autostrada is the Italian word for motorways/freeways, but is used in several countries including Albania, Lithuania, Poland, Egypt, Israel, 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, at 80 km/h (~50mph). During times of heavy rain or snow, the speed limits for cars is lowered to 110 km/h (~70mph).

Italy was the first country in the world to build such roads, the first one being the "Autostrada dei Laghi" (Lakes' Highway), from Milan to Varese, built in 1924. Design of the major links started in the 1950s and much of the construction was done in the 1960s.
