Autostrada is the Italian word for motorways/freeways, but is used in several countries including Poland and Romania. Italy's Autostrada has one of the highest speed limits in Europe, excluding the German Autobahn. The speed limit varies but 130 km/h (~80 mph) is common; with the limits for trucks being lower. Design of the major links started in the 1950's and much of the construction was done in the 1960's.
