Kiraude Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Anyone know anything about the autoroute from Nice direction to Italy? How busy does it get? Radars? Border control at all like as we enter Spain?ThanksKira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmp Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 We travel quite regularly from Nice into, and throughout, Italy. If you're using the A8 (France) then A10 (Italy) the only things which come to mind are it's probably best to avoid early Friday mornings as the market in Ventimiglia is very popular with French residents and the traffic is noticeably heavier. There is also one in San Remo on Saturday mornings but not quite so popular/touristy.Beware of the radar camera in the tunnel between Nice Nord and Monaco on the A8. Info here http://www.radarsfixes.com/p_rou.asp?rou=A8I haven't seen border controls for years although I do hear stories of spot checks by customs looking for large quantities of fake designer goods from the Italian markets.As you enter Italy and encounter more Italian drivers you will notice an increase in speed, courteousness and driving skill and a marked decrease in erratic road use.Bon voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
