Verona: Difference between revisions

Verona's vast terrain is connected by an extensive network of controlled-access highways ('freeways'), limited-access roads ('expressways'), and highways. In fact, Verona has the most extensive highway and railway system in Cartadania. The regulatory authority, the Verona Department of Transportation (VDOT), constructs and maintains the state's immense highway system, regulates aviation, and public transportation systems. The rapidly growing population of the commonwealth is straining its transportation networks, although even with its 76 million residents, Verona has a notable lack of overall traffic congestion relative to its population and density.

The first Verona freeway was the Bay Freeway, opened in 1948 and running the length of the state adjacent to the Bay of Verona from northeastern Sierra County to Volusia County. As of 2024, 136,336 kilometers (84,715 miles) of public highway criscrossed Verona. To fund recent growth in the state highways, Verona has 14 toll roads with several additional tollways proposed. In central Verona, [[Verona State Highway 295|SH-295]] (Varina Tollway) has an advisory speed limit of {{convert|195|km/h|mph}}, the highest in the nation, but also does not have a posted speed limit for most of its length. Before it was opened, the highest speed in Verona was {{convert|145|km/h|mph}} on SH-210, which had it tied with Santiago's [[Santiago#Transportation|SR-600]]. All federal and state highways in the commonwealth are paved.
