[[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.
