''A'' stands for ''[[autostrada]]'' ("[[motorway]]"), ''SS'' for ''[[State highways (Italy)|strada statale]]'' ("[[state highway]]"), ''SR'' for ''[[Regional road (Italy)|strada regionale]]'' ("[[Regions of Italy|regional]] road"), ''SP'' for ''[[Provincial road (Italy)|strada provinciale]]'' ("[[Provinces of Italy|provincial]] road") and ''SC'' for ''[[strada comunale]]'' ("[[Comune|municipal]] road").

====Autostrade====

[[Autostrade of Italy]] follow a single numbering, even if managed by different concessionaire companies: they are all marked with the letter "A" ("RA" in the case of motorway junctions, with the exception of the [[Bereguardo]]-[[Pavia]] junction numbered on the signs as [[Autostrada A53 (Italy)|Autostrada A53]], and "T" for the international [[Alps|Alpine]] tunnels) followed by a number. Therefore a motorway with the same numbering can be managed by different concessionaire companies (for example the [[Autostrada A23 (Italy)|Autostrada A23]] is managed for a stretch by {{ill|Società Autostrade Alto Adriatico|it}} and for the remaining stretch by Autostrade per l'Italia<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.programmazioneeconomica.gov.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/esito-CIPE-24-luglio-2019-SI-PUBBLICHI.pdf|title=CIPE - Esito seduta del 24 luglio 2019|access-date=27 September 2019|language=it}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.autostradealtoadriatico.it/Home/Company|title=La Società - Società Autostradale Alto Adriatico|access-date=21 September 2019|language=it}}</ref>). In road signs the alphanumeric acronym is enclosed (not in the case of the 16 junctions) in a green octagon with a white acronym. The numbers of motorways and tunnels are assigned with a circular from the [[Minister of Infrastructure and Transport (Italy)|Minister of Infrastructure and Transport]] to be published in the ''[[Gazzetta Ufficiale]]''.<ref>Art. 129 of the ''Regulations for the Implementation of the Italian traffic code'' in relation to article 39 of the Italian traffic code.</ref>

[[State highways (Italy)|Strade statali]] are identified by a number and a name. In road signs and maps the number is preceded by the acronym SS, an acronym for ''strada statale'' ("state road"). The nomenclature of the state highways managed by [[ANAS]] generally follows the SS ''n'' scheme, where ''n'' is a number ranging from 1 ([[Strada statale 1 Via Aurelia|Aurelia]]) up to 700 (of the [[Royal Palace of Caserta]]) depending on the date of establishment of the state highway. Newly built ANAS roads, not yet classified, are identified by the acronym NSA, an acronym for ''nuova strada ANAS'' ("new ANAS road").<ref name="stradeanas.it">{{cite web|url=http://www.stradeanas.it/index.php?/strade/consistenza/index|title=Anas S.p.A. - Consistenza|access-date=19 March 2024|language=it}}</ref> In road signs the alphanumeric acronym is enclosed in a blue rectangle with a white acronym.

====Strade regionali, strade provinciali and strade comunali====
{{main|Regional road (Italy)|Provincial road (Italy)|Municipal road (Italy)}}
[[Regional road (Italy)|Strade regionali]] are identified by a number. In road signs and maps the number is preceded by the acronym SR, an acronym for ''strada regionale'' ("[[Regions of Italy|regional]] road"). In road signs the alphanumeric acronym is enclosed in a blue rectangle with a white acronym.

[[Provincial road (Italy)|Strade provinciali]] are identified by a number. In road signs and maps the number is preceded by the acronym SP, an acronym for ''strada provinciale'' ("[[Provinces of Italy|provincial]] road"). In road signs the alphanumeric acronym is enclosed in a blue rectangle with a white acronym.

Extra-urban [[Strada comunale|strade comunali]] may be identified by a number. In road signs and maps the number is preceded by the acronym SC, an acronym for ''strada comunale'' ("[[Comune|municipal]] road"). In road signs the alphanumeric acronym is enclosed in a white rectangle with a black acronym. Very rarely extra-urban strade comunali are marked with a number and with the abbreviation SC.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.comune.flero.bs.it/sites/default/files/ufficio_tecnico/pric/Documenti%20del%20piano/02%20-%20Guida%20alla%20Progettazione.pdf|title=IL PIANO REGOLATORE DELL'ILLUMINAZIONE COMUNALE |access-date=26 March 2024|language=it}}</ref>
