Overview
- Anas expects about 60 million vehicle movements across Italy through April 7, with most trips headed to seaside spots in Central and Southern regions.
- Traffic is set to build before the weekend, dip on Saturday and Easter Sunday, and then spike on the return day, creating concentrated jams during the rientri.
- Easter travel brings many short and medium trips in narrow time windows, which can quickly saturate specific corridors even when overall daily volumes look moderate.
- Authorities will restrict heavy-vehicle circulation during peak windows across the holiday period and have coordinated with highway police to manage flows and clear incidents faster, with the Pronto Anas helpline (800.841.148) providing live updates.
- Autostrade per l’Italia flags likely slowdowns on the A1 Milano–Napoli, A14 Adriatica, A2 Autostrada del Mediterraneo, A22 del Brennero and A4 Torino–Trieste, with added pressure on busy state roads to the coast and lakes such as the SS1 Aurelia, SS16 Adriatica, SS106 Jonica and SS18 Tirrena Inferiore.
