Anyway everyone was driving very fast and didn't see the cameras.

No way! There have already been a number of car owners fined for speeding on Italian highways.

In our country, it's the same. The cars from other places drive slower, and the local cars are in a hurry behind them.

Dear, when you are abroad, you must be clear about the units. You really can't just say it casually. Don't be like in China, just to pursue fashion, people say how many yards and we follow to learn. In the United States, you can call it miles, because their standard is this mile, and in Europe, especially in Italy, it is exactly the same as us, called kilometers! In some places in Italy, the speed limit is 70 kilometers per hour, some are 110, and some are 120.

As fast as you can go, Italians usually drive fast. The traffic order on the highway is similar to that in China! There are no electronic eyes on the road, only on national highways and other non-toll roads. There may be speed traps before entering a town.

On the Italian highway, I observed that the speed limit on the primary highway is 130, while the other roads are 110. Almost all cars are driving at 130/140. I kept getting overtaken and was forced to drive fast as well. It's strange that there are very few speed cameras. I only saw a few electronic speed signs in some places, showing the current speed. I don't know if I will be fined for speeding ? Italy Q&A

For buses that don't stop or announce the stations, how do you ensure you don't get off at the wrong stop? It seems that in Italy, buses don't announce the stations and only stop when someone needs to get on or off, and you have to press a red button to signal that you want to get off... The method of counting the stations and listening for announcements doesn't work, so do you rely on the driver to call out the stops? But what if you don't speak Italian and the bus is crowded? Looking out for landmarks? You need to have landmarks to look at, and it's hard to see them when it's dark or when the bus is crowded... So the only thing I can think of is to look at the GPS location on the map... Do you have any clever tricks for this ? Italy Q&A

The enthusiasm of the people of Sicily, Italy, is a passionate and unrestrained one. In Rome, the enthusiasm you see is a refined routine. For example, when you go to a restaurant, the waiter will recommend two special dishes for the day. When you ask what they are, he will tell you about the volcano beef and swan roasted fish... The prices are all on the menu. Each dish is about 25 euros, not bad, right? When you're halfway through the meal, they will bring you a glass of ice wine, telling you it's complimentary, and shake hands with you... As for the swan roasted fish, they will enthusiastically ask if you need help opening it. I firmly say no, but they will still help you open it as if they didn't hear me... Let's talk about the bill. When you pay, they will tell you it's 293 euros, plus a 10% service charge, and fish is charged by weight (the fish is at most 1.5 pounds, and the beef is only the size of a fist, definitely not 2 pounds), and the water before the meal is 10 euros. Also, when taking a taxi, make sure to use the meter... And there are a lot of pickpockets there, so be careful of women wearing scarves. Even if you put your bag in front of you, it won't help. They will use the scarf to block your line of sight... They usually work in groups... Even so, Italy is still very, very beautiful. It feels like walking in a historical museum, and shopping is also very enjoyable... Wishing friends a pleasant journey ? Italy Q&A
