Signs along the Autostrada
Part 1 Part 2

A numbered exit on the A-G.R.A. beltway in Rome. Uscita is Italian for exit. The sign points that this exit will take you to route A1/E35 to go to Florence (Firenze). The target indicates this is the way to the center of Rome (Roma), the bed indicates a hospital, and the train indicates a railroad station is this way. This is on a white background because these are reached by non-primary routes. The SS route exit is on a blue background, and calls out a street name (Casilina), rather than a town name, so it is not all in caps.
This sign is on an "SS" route, so it is blue. This sign is not on route A1, but it will take you to it. SS3bis/E45 north of Terni
This is on route A1/E35 north of Rome, but only the E route is identified.

Left: Southbound A1/E45 east of Rome. E45 goes to Naples (Napoli).
Right: Overhead sign incorporating a traffic signal. All four directions at this signal had a similar sign to this one. SS16 in Ravenna

Left: SS1 follows the west coast of Italy, and apparently it is named Via Aurelia. Westbound E76/A11 overheads have route SS1 called out, but E76/A11 is not SS1, it just takes you to it (SS1 is the destination).
Right: A sign on A1 near Bologna.

Standard signbridge design. A11/E76 west of Florence
