I'm working in infrastructure and transport sector in Italy and, in my way of thinking, when we talk about the A3 we must consider that this autoroute is not a Highway but a simple Motorway without toll. In Italy there are only 2 or 3 Highways, all located in Northern Italian peninsula. Thank you! --Mac 3 July 2005 00:49 (UTC)

What do u consider by highway and motorway?

Italy has 6400 kilometers of expressways ( two or more separate lanes in each direction ) and about 3000 kilometers of other high speed highways whithout toll. User:Lux74

Route table

Why do the distances in the route table restart from zero at Salerno? Astronaut (talk) 13:49, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because from Naples to Salerno and from Salerno to Reggio the highway is being operated by two different companies. --Gspinoza (talk) 15:53, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tone and referencing

The rather chatty tone of the lede seems inappropriate for an encyclopedia. The lede also concentrates on substantial criticsm of the quality of the road, without a reference in sight. For example, phrases like:

"Generally speaking, ..." is not a good way of phrasing something in an encyclopedia.
"more or less a substandard freeway"... is it substandard or not and who says it is?
"it's famous for being prone to very high levels of traffic"... if it is so famous, why don't we have evidence of this fame?

You're right, for instance i don't like when it says "The motorway is currently undergoing some slight modernisation attempts at some segments and junctions". Slight modernisation?!?! They're practically rebuilding the motorway from scratch! --Gspinoza (talk) 15:51, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Italia Viaduct

The Italia Viaduct is on this route between Laino Borgo and Mormanno. Given that it is the highest bridge in Italy and quite a feat of engineering it should probably get a mention on this page. (Sorry, I didn't know where to fit it in) ShakyIsles (talk) 21:44, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
