Travelling around the region could be a very exciting experience. The countryside and the coastline are lovely unspoiled areas that can probably be discovered only if travelling by car. Puglia has a good road network and clear international signs system. We recommend travelling on the Autostrada when available, which is the faster motorway, alternatively Superstrada and Strada Statale can be used. Autostrada and Superstrada are two lane highway, while Strada Statale is usually one lane. National motorways signs are indicated by the letter A followed by a number. Regional motorways signs are indicated by letters SP instead. There are also many European roads in Puglia, whose signs are indicated by the letter E. 
If you are travelling to Puglia from the North you will be driving on the A14. This highway connects Bologna to Taranto, also called the vacation highway, is the most driven highway in summer when all tourist drive to the South. It is a flat highway and easily viable road. Alternately the A16 can be used if travelling from West, i.e. Naples or Rome. This highway presents some hilly tracts and it can be windy. Please check the official Italian motorway website www.autostrade.it for more information. Don’t forget that in Italy vehicles travel on the right and overtake on the left. For detailed routes and maps you can refer to Google Maps or ViaMichelin.
