Naples is well connected to Italy’s national motorway network. It stands between the A3, which goes south to Salerno and Calabria, and the A1, which runs north to Rome and Milan. The A16 runs east to Bari. Also the A30 is linked to Naples, and it provides a good alternative in the Campania region to the often congested A3. The Tangenziale di Napoli (Naples’s ring road) is where these motorways connect with the city.
The AA or RAC in Britain and the AAA in America have reciprocal agreements with the Automobile Club d’Italia (ACI) (tel: (06) 49981; website: www.aci.it), who provide a useful advisory service as well as dealing with breakdowns.
Emergency breakdown service:
ACI (tel: 803 116).
