vacanza

During the long, hot Italian summer the schools close for almost three months of vacanze estive (summer vacation). Italian students are on vacation from mid June to mid September. In August many factories and offices also close, leaving the major cities practically deserted. Early August sees the esodo (exodus) from the major cities while at the end of August comes the controesodo (return). This leads to long lines of traffic on the superhighways and especially at the tollgates.

pedaggio

In Italy travel on superhighways is paid for by a system of pedaggio (tolls), which ensures that the user pays for the use that he or she makes of the superhighway infrastructure. The network of tolled superhighways totals about 5, 500 km and is run by 24 concessionaire companies. Tolls are normally paid in cash at the tollgate. However payment can also be made using the Viacard® system, a magnetic card that can be used either at automatic barriers or handed to the tollgate operator; or with Telepass® , a telematic system that works by means of a small machine placed on the windshield allowing the driver to pass through the appropriate lanes without stopping.
