On the Autostrada Traveling on Italian highways reserves quite a few surprises for the international traveler. The Italian autostrada is one big toll road.
Prices vary according to the flow of traffic on any given stretch of road.
Only the autostrade in the very south of Italy are free of charge, thanks to a regional development initiative. But the limit is purely theoretical. To survive, just keep calm, and travel at the speed you feel confident in, and don't mind the honking from behind. Always use the right lanes except for passing. The right-hand lane marked with a solid line is an emergency lane, and can be used only by emergency vehicles and for very brief stops.
