A30 Motorway Caserta-Salerno

The design of the A30 Caserta-Salerno Highway originated from the need to reduce traffic congestion on the road junctions in urban and suburban areas of Naples and Salerno.

The first section to be opened to traffic, on July 1, 1975, was the one between Caserta and Nola, 20 kilometers long.

On May 5, 1976, the next segment to Salerno was inaugurated. The Sarno viaduct, in its first year, had a single carriageway and was completed in 1977.

Completely managed by Autostrade per l'Italia, the A30 Caserta-Salerno Highway is 55 kilometers long in total and winds through predominantly flat terrain. It offers motorists three lanes in each direction, a feature planned since its construction due to the high traffic volumes in the area.

This is a fundamental infrastructure for Campania as it allows drivers to bypass the A3 Naples-Salerno Highway and the Naples junction, facilitating connections with regions further south. In fact, it naturally fits into the route formed by the A1 Milan-Naples and the A2 Salerno-Reggio Calabria highways.

The highway speed limit is 130 km/h. In case of adverse weather conditions, it may be reduced to 110 km/h or lower speeds. Newly licensed drivers, meaning motorists who have obtained their A or B license less than three years ago, must respect a limit of 100 km/h.

These are the main intersections:

• A1 Milan-Naples;
• A16 Naples-Canosa;
• RA2 Avellino;
• A2 Salerno-Reggio Calabria.

The A30 Caserta Salerno Highway uses a closed toll system, where drivers must collect a ticket at the entrance toll booth and make payment when exiting. If equipped with a Telepass electronic toll device, the process happens automatically by driving through the designated lanes marked with yellow symbols. The toll amount is directly proportional to the distance traveled, the vehicle class coefficient, and the kilometer rate (which varies from highway to highway and is set by the concessionary company).

The cost of traveling the entire A30 route is estimated at €6.00 for cars and motorcycles (Class A). The travel time under normal traffic conditions is 1 hour and 5 minutes.
