Some tourists do dare to drive there and manage to get off the beaten track and see much more of this wondrous country than the usual tourist spots. Driving in Italy is not for the faint-hearted, but it\u2019s not as crazy as you might think. So, rent a car or bring your own, prepare to get lost more than once and treat it like an adventure and experience the true Italian <em>dolce vita!<\/em>  <\/p>\n<h4><strong>On your marks:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>  There are four main types of roads in Italy with the following speed limits:    Type of road\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Speed limit    Motorway (<em>autostrade<\/em>)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 130km\/h (80mph)    Main Highway (<em>strade extraurbane principali<\/em>)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 110km\/h (68mph)    Secondary Road (<em>strade extraurbane secondarie)\u00a0 <\/em>90km\/h (56mph)    Built-up Areas (<em>strade urbane<\/em>)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 50km\/h (31mph)    When raining or snowing the speed limit reduces to 110km\/h on motorways and 90km\/h on main highways.

It\u2019s more relaxed and leisurely out in the rolling countryside compared to the frenzy of driving in the cities and it is a little more law-abiding north of Rome than it is south, where the rules-of-the-road are seemingly ignored.    Remember to always drive on the right and, if not otherwise indicated, give way to traffic coming from your right.    On the autostrade and dual carriageways, the left hand lane is always for overtaking. Do not linger in this lane.    Italians drive very VERY close to cars in front of them. If there is a space between cars, it usually fills very quickly with a car coming in from either side. Therefore, look out for cars cutting in front of you; however, if you drive as close as the locals do you don\u2019t have to worry about being cut up!    Italian drivers expect the unexpected and are prepared for it and you should be too. Do not wait for a car to stop and let you out; if you see a gap be assertive and pull out, the other drivers will be expecting you to do this (but within reason, don\u2019t be pulling off any silly or dangerous manoeuvres).    Many roads in towns and cities are <em>area pedonale<\/em> (pedestrian zones), which prohibit cars, or <em>zona traffic limitato<\/em> (limited traffic zones), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.micksgarage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ztl.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5239 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.micksgarage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/ztl.jpeg\" alt=\"ztl\" width=\"223\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a>which require a special permit if you want to drive through them.    If renting a car be sure to get one with GPS and make sure you bring some road maps too. Italian road signs are notoriously difficult to understand and pretty hard to find within cities.    Speaking of cities, if you do plan to drive through Rome, Venice, Florence, Naples etc., just be prepared.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need to negotiate extremely narrow streets, find streets with no names, streets that change names half way through, avoid cars parked and stopped on the streets, pedestrians walking in the streets and one way systems. Not to mention cryptic parking restrictions, which mean nothing anyways as there are no empty parking spaces to be found. All of these can lead to a lot of wasted time and getting very lost. If this sounds like your idea of fun, then great, you will love the Italian cities, go forth and conquer. However, if this sounds like being thrown to the lions, leave the car out of town and get a bus or train in and enjoy the ride and sites and you\u2019ll save time and be able to enjoy an ice-cream in a plaza, while the others soldier on looking for a parking space.    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/italy5_9b5b84.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5235 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/italy5_9b5b84.jpg\" alt=\"A Guide to Driving in Italy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"726\" \/><\/a>  <\/p>\n<h4><strong>Places to Visit:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>  Too many to mention, not even possible to narrow it down but some of the more interesting regions are:    <strong><em>Cinque Terre<\/em><\/strong>    If you need a break from all the driving head to this UNESCO World Heritage Site and car-free zone and get away from it all.

This road follows the coast from Sorrento south to Salerno. It gets very busy during high season, but this is a route best enjoyed at a leisurely pace, preferably in a convertible Italian motor.    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/amalfi36_1431529216_9aca13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5243 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imagetin.com\/images\/micksgarage-ie\/646jk67ggt\/amalfi36_1431529216_9aca13.jpg\" alt=\"A Guide to Driving in Italy\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" \/><\/a>    Drive Lake Como, beginning at Lecco heading to Bellagio and then on to the town of Como and finally to Mennagio.
