Driving in Italy: service areas, tolls and rules
Most Italian autostrade are tolled, and the service area is a familiar part of any long drive. Here is how stops are named and which rules are worth knowing before you set off.
- Speed limit on motorways
- 130 km/h; 110 km/h in the rain, and 100 km/h for drivers in their first three years.
- Tolls
- Most autostrade are tolled: take a ticket at the entrance and pay at the exit by card, cash or Telepass. Some, such as the A2 between Salerno and Reggio Calabria, are free.
- Lorry driving bans
- Lorries over 7.5 t may not drive on Sundays and public holidays from 09:00 to 22:00 (07:00 to 22:00 from June to September), plus extra days set each year by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.

- 112. SOS call points stand about every 2 km along the autostrade.
Types of stop
An area di servizio has fuel, toilets and usually a bar or restaurant. An area di sosta or area di parcheggio is simpler, with parking and sometimes toilets.
At the toll barrier
Follow the signs for your way of paying: white lanes for cash, blue for cards, yellow for Telepass only. Without a Telepass device, keep out of the yellow lanes.
