Tolls are charged at varying distances and scales, except for the Salerno Reggio Calabria, Palermo Catania and Palermo Mazara Del Vallo stretches which are toll-free. Secondary roads are also excellent and require no tolls. Road signs are international. Many gas stations are closed 1200-1500. Visitors are advised to check locally about exact opening times.
Traffic drives on the right.
Be sure to put on your headlights when passing through tunnels. All vehicles must carry a red warning triangle, available at border posts. In case of breakdown on any Italian road, dial 116 at the nearest telephone box. Both day and monthly passes are available. Milan also has an excellent metro service, with tickets usable on both metro and bus.
