Autostrada

[LtBk]

Post some pics of Italian autostrada. I'm interested in seeming them as their pics are rare in the Internet.

The Frace-Italy motorway by the sea, is one of the most amazing motorways around, mainly on the italy side (the first 100 km or so) because in all those 100 kms, you're always either in a tunnel or in a very high bridge!
And in the bridges you can see the see, some 100/150 meters bellow! Very nice! :D

I agree, I think this freeway is the most impressive route I have ever been on. The scenery is amazing.

Great pics everybody.
Looks like the Italians love to build circles where two freeways meet. Which isn't a bad thing; it's very stylish. :)

Very common in all Italian highways network are stop areas with restoration points and petrol stations. Often they have a bridge shape overcrossing the highways from a side to other

We usually call 'em Autogrill even if it is uncorrect, 'cause Autogrill is only one of the "brand" you can find in these areas, even if it is predominant (and recently Autgrill keep opening in italian cities restaurant chains, so it is no more only a highway-brand)

I'd have to agree there. I done this drive a couple of years ago, from Genoa to Nice (and then Nice to Montpelier).

It was the most amazing drive I have ever seen in terms of natural scenary, tunnels and bridges every few minutes, with incredible light and the mountains coming down to the med.

If there is a more spectacular motorway stretch in the world I have yet to see it.

But I found both the Italian and French sides equally impressive. One has to stop off at Eze!

The autostrada, one of the best highways in the world.
