(Redirected from List of motorways in Italy)

The 'Autostrada' is the Italian National system of motorways. The total length of the system is about 6,400 km, in North and Central Italy mainly as tollways, the biggest portion owned by the Autostrade Group which operates some 3,408 km of highways, although some are also under the control of other operators, such as Autovie Venete in the north-east. Italy was the first country in the world to start building motorways.
Italy's Autostrada has one of the highest speed limits in Europe, excluding the German Autobahns. 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 1950s and much of the construction was done in the 1960s.
