Italian Signage

Italian street signs confuse me. They list a multitude of destinations. One must stop or slow down if you are to really read and find the direction you are looking for. A friend said her strategy when traveling was for her to start from the top and read down and her husband would start at the bottom and read up. Whoever found what they were looking for shouted out! This is a small sign at what we call "the intersection from hell". It is a four way intersection but traffic is a free for all. Also, to the right of the directional sign is a lighted sign announcing that the railroad crossing is closed for a train coming through so you can take an alternate route.

I like the color coating. Green for autostrada (toll road) and blue for major intercity road...plus a little straight on for the hospital.



Another great novel of a sign.
