However, this does not mean there are no automobile roads and that you will not need to obey traffic regulations. If there are no special road signs, you cannot drive a car with the speed of more than 50 km/h. Venice is a specific city. Therefore, you should drive a car accurately. The streets are narrow and there are no parking lots. This all is a problem for tourists. When you leave the city and drive a car outside the population centers, it is possible to make up to 110 km/h. If you reach an expressway, you can drive along at 130 km/h.
