Title: itass: Italy Strade Statali
Post by: Spinoza on June 28, 2017, 04:19:36 am
Hi,
if you'll ever want to implement Italian Strada Statale (SS) network into the site, ANAS (State owned managing company) has released its complete registry:

http://www.stradeanas.it/it/le-strade/anas-regione

It is divided by region and it shows all the roads currently nominated SS.

Edited to pluralise name of system

@Spinoza: We currently work on splitting some European regions like it's already done for USA, Canada, China, Mexico,... The first step is splitting Spain, then Germany, so that we can add the next tier 5 level systems afterwards. We will break user list files once this will go live. For that reason, I think we should make all splits at once. I think if we ever wanna add the next Italian system - I guess it's SP -, I think we also have to spilt Italy into regions. For that reason, it's fine, that ANAS has divided the map into regions. Is there also any info about SP routes? Generally, what do you think about adding them somewhere down the road (2018, 2019, 2020,...)?

Sorry, again, I just wanna do the split action only once to bother our users only once....

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strada_regionale - It's SR (though they seem rare). SP are another layer down!

si404 is right, SR is between SS and SP, but to make things worse, they are not present in all the Italian regions. The only regions to allow such denomination are Abruzzo, Umbria, Toscana, Lazio, Piemonte, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Puglia.

Another layer of complication, due to the particular legal status of Provinces Trento and Bolzano/Südtirol (which have simultaneous rights of provinces, regions and state), the SS are managed by the provinces but retain their original SS denomination.

As for provincial roads (SP) it should be easy to find out the former SS which are now managed by provinces... but the original SP, which have never been SS, are somewhat harder to identify. I guess some provinces mantain a comprehensive list of them, some others don't...

Italy's a mess...

Do you think it would be easier to split Italy into regions (= provinces)?

This way we could:
- Add SP or SR routes depending on the province
- Draft provinces which have data published and omit other provinces (first)
- Bypass the Trentino-Alto Adige "issue"

If we want to split Italy into subdivisions, I think that street-wise provinces are more interesting than regions but I guess we should use both layers.

The ISO 3166-2 code for the 20 regions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:IT) is using numbers instead of characters though, e.g. IT-32 for Trentino-Alto Adige.

Characters are only used for the 110 provinces, e.g. IT-AG, but I think that's not the way we should go.

I think the cryptic code with numbers is not user-friendly.

No need to think about regions or provinces now because Si has decided that we don't split Italy now:

I've got Sardinia drafted, and have begun work on Sicilian routes.

I've fudged some of the places where routes disappear either side of a town, but there's an applied route. However I've kept places where a route is fragmented due to changing number (eg SS125/SS125Var) - in part to highlight how annoying the Italian numbering system can be!

I thought you meant your are not going to use the province codes.
I agree you shouldn't use numbers for regions... there are already unofficial three-letter codes there are sometimes used (e.g. SAR for Sardinia, TAA for Trentino Alto Adige, MAR for Marches and so on...)

Why not?

ANAS is in the process of regaining ownership of some roads previously transferred to Regions and Provinces.

Here's the list:
http://www.stradeanas.it/it/conferenza-unificata-libera-al-trasferimento-ad-anas-di-oltre-3500-km-rete-nazionale-e-regionale

Not sure when the actual transfer will take place.
Title: Re: Italy Strada Statale (itass)
Post by: si404 on August 09, 2017, 06:01:13 am
There were (I've only really got the North left to do) various routes in Marche (in particular) that ANAS listed, but didn't have a trace on and had descriptions like "SS456: from ex SS123" with SS123's listing having "from exSS456". I added a couple of them that were more major, even though mapping had them as SR routes, while left the ones I found it hard to trace. However these all seem to be coming back.

I believe Trentino-Sud-Tyrol signs the SS routes its provinces maintain as SS roads, rather than not having any.

And the whole creation of routes would be so much easier if they didn't break every time there was a newish bypass that had a bannered route (mostly Var) or - in the case of SS9 that I did last night - were discontinuous at every town of size mostly because of bypasses in the SS7xx range.

This is true, Trentino and Alto-Adige are autonomous regions, and have a lot of state-like competences. The SS routes there are still named as such, and basically are, even though they are managed by the autonomous provinces.

"It ass" is a very good description for this system (is Italian Road Numbering the worst in the EU?), but I 'only' have 50 routes left (unless I find yet more hiding in TAA), so it's almost there with the current lot (obviously there's the new bunch mentioned upthread) and I expect to be finished in the next couple of days.

Greece's isn't as bad - the issues I've found are more to do with alphabet, mountains, and most importantly: poor signage and mapping.

Italy's is logical, reasonably well signed, and most importantly: utterly crazy in its fastidiousness for the rules. This means SS routes going through towns and over passes while the province has bypassed it with a high quality SP road, or routes breaking because they haven't gone and fixed all the chainage markers downstream of an improvement so its SS123-SS123 Var-SS123.

Spain's Autovia/pista numbering comes a very close second with the prefix proliferation, but it doesn't have the annoying features Italy has, save on rare occasion - its sins are different.

SP104 wp is off track and nothing intersects here, it's the beginning of the new A12 section


SS1bis:
Why is it not called by a csv entry?
It ends in Vetrala according to OSM/GM
SS675 wp label is not perfect because SS675 is u/c to be extended to the west by 2018. There will be a new SS675 exit/wp at a different location


SS1civ:
I think it ends anywhere in Roma, see OSM and GSV (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8894711,12.4109196,3a,15y,315.6h,94.32t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1saOAYybCGQjdQFPeCUGyPSw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)

A15 should be moved to http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.133793&lon=9.899368
Please add a shape point to A15 south of the exit because both routes look like being concurrent on mapview


SS1rac:

I tried to find signs on GSV but I couldn't fine one. Should it be removed?

Some basic general response to these review points before I look at specifics.

My source for endpoints/route existence is the ANAS directory of routes. As such, there are some odd ends and unsigned routes. Signage in Italy is often misleading as to whether it the road number is a 'to', or the actual number, or just outdated. I'll happily extend a short distance to a logical endpoint (eg through a town to another route) if there is a sign.

Rac is indeed Racc, but there's a 3-character Banner limit and 'SPUR' banners have always been Spr and Racc banners have always been Rac

Linguistic nitpick here: the name of the system should be Strade Statale - the noun and adjective need to match in number and gender.  :)

Una Strada Statala
Due Strade Statale

"Strada Statale" is a singular noun with a plural adjective.

Mmm, not really.
The correct forms are: "Una strada statale", "due strade statali". In Italian, noun-adjective concordance does not always mean same ending.

"Una rosa gialla" and "due rose gialle"
but
"Una rosa verde" and "due rose verdi"



It seems there are some other national roads, specified in the ANAS website, which are not in this database.
For instance, NSA 12 di Verrone, NSA 357 della Val Vigezzo, both in region Piemonte. Since I drove NSA 12, I noticed its absence.

A bit late to the party here.
Italy is the first I've been aware (http://tm.teresco.org/forum/index.php?topic=2325.msg8630#msg8630) of banners being used outside of North America. (Is there anywhere else?)
The standard in North America has been for every bannered route to have both a City and Abbrev. I like the idea of, for consistency's sake, expanding that to be a sitewide standard. (Not saying there's no way in Centralia you'd convince me otherwise though.)

Similarly, in itaa.csv, maybe
itaa;ITA;A18;Dir;;Diramazione per Catania;ita.a018dircat;A18Cat
->
itaa;ITA;A18;Dir;Cat;Diramazione per Catania;ita.a018dircat;A18Dir,A18Cat
...and the .list name would match the route root.

--There are some cases of unique Route+Banner combinations still having a City & Abbrev, E.G ita.ss027vargig.
Consistency would dictate either losing the City & Abbrev, or adding City & Abbrev to all bannered routes. Again, I prefer the latter approach.

Don't worry about graph creation and the like - the addition of NSA routes (basically unnumbered SS roads that have been numbered with something else) is going to occupy me on this system for a while.

As for peer review - I don't mind if you do continue reviewing itass, but would love korex to be done. As a motorway system with (mostly) numbered exits it is much less of an ass than itass, IMO, plus not doing itass allows me to look at signage and add NSA routes and such like.

They are Strada Statale, just not having SS numbers yet (or detrunked yet if heading the other direction), so they are going in itass just as all the green-hexagon roads are in itaa, even if they aren't Axx.

It's always possible to track down changes on GitHub, even for preview systems. For instance, the latest itass route name changes can be found here (https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/commit/8c7d2259c65b66301f3e9cc986e5fbfdffd2cfd9#diff-aca2f4dac82a022c7b889edf4c56feaf).

@Spinoza: If you are not sure, just ask here and I could try to figure out what you have to change.

============================

General note:
Yes, systems are sometimes very long in preview and undergo a lot of changes, e.g. deub, my first system drafted. I had to learn how to draft systems.
I don't think that we should indicate these changes on the site. That's only done for active systems (http://tm.teresco.org/devel/updates.php) and the list is already quite long. I think we should try to activate systems earlier. More than 1 year is just too much...

Most of Italian Autostrada routes (active itaa system) do not have numbered exits but use wp label names of crossing routes. Of course, many exits are called "SSxxx". It seems to be right according to OSM and to what's signed in the field but we do not have the SS routes in HB. Just an example: RA13 exit SS14 (http://travelmapping.net/hb/index.php?u=michih&r=ita.ra013). This SS14 segment is not in HB!

Is it ok or should the wp labels being changed? Or should the SS routes being drafted?

In that particular instance, the road USED TO be SS14 but now is classified as SR14. Problem is that many times, on the downgraded route, signs are not changed. OSM itself shows that route as both SS14 and SR14.
In my opinion, the wp labels at motorway intersection should be named as the official exit name, in this case "Sistiana".

There is an error in Italy "Strade statale":

SS690 is shown as going past Sora arriving at the junction SS509 near Atina.
As a matter of fact SS690 ends at junction "Sora Nord" (SR82_Sora). Everything south of it is called "SSV Sora-A1" and it is not a "SS" despite a similar denomination (it is in fact a provincial road).

And please, can you also correct the label "Strade statale"? It's either "Strada statale" (singular) or "strade statali" (plural).

ANAS website doesn't explicitly say, but there are reasons to believe this will be the last one.

For instance, 15 out of 20 regions (11 + 4) have been addressed. The remaining 5 regions are the so-called "special status" ones (Aosta valley, Sicily, Sardinia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige) which have different rules in their relation with the central State. For instance, the 2001 law that devolved those ANAS roads to the regions did not involve special status regions in the first place.

EDIT: Actually, my previous statement is false.
Roads in Tuscany have been transferred back to ANAS in both occasions, so the regions addressed are 14. Veneto is the only "normal status" one that wasn't addressed.

So apparently regions can be managed in rounds, meaning that there is no way to know if there will be more instances also for regions already addressed.

If I got you right, they do it region by region. For the regions we already have a transfer report, we don't expect another one?
If that's right, we might go ahead and address the changes to those regions. We could even activate the system and add the other routes later on when the transfer will be implemented (2022, 2023, 2030,...).

A system of unnumbered routes? Another tier 4 or tier 5?
They are Strada Statale, just not having SS numbers yet (or detrunked yet if heading the other direction), so they are going in itass just as all the green-hexagon roads are in itaa, even if they aren't Axx.

NSA (nuova strada ANAS), strade in attesa di classificazione

NSA (new road ANAS), roads waiting for classification

Sounds similar to future US interstates but there are also "ex" NSA routes. Former SS routes are "future" SS routes now....  ;D

I guess it will be a tier 5 system?

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuova_strada_ANAS

Are those Nuova strade ANAS routes the routes which have been transfered to ANAS and should be part of itass system now?
Or do those routes still exist in parallel?

Or let's ask this way: What's the potential next logical system below itass?

From what I remember from the three months I spent in Italy, there's the Strada Statale (~US highways), Strada Regionale (~state highways), and Strada Provinciale (~county highways) (the American equivalents are just me spitballing, not sure if they're accurate). The shields look the same (with SR and SP instead of SS). Now, finding somewhere that lists the Strada Regionale... that doesn't sound fun.

Unfortunately, you're correct. It is incredibly hard to extract information from ANAS. Most of the times even data from new openings are vague at best.

Quote
If I got you right, they do it region by region. For the regions we already have a transfer report, we don't expect another one?

The most likely answer is "it depends". For instance, I would expect Lombardy to have a second round later on: most of the roads transferred belong to provinces of Pavia, Bergamo, Lecco but very few from Brescia or Sondrio.
I was very suprised that roads like SP BS 236 and 237 weren't mentioned, for instance. Also, it makes little sense that SP469 on the western shore of Lake Iseo was transferred and SP BS 510, on the eastern shore, wasn't, given that the latter is much more important than the former.

A system of unnumbered routes? Another tier 4 or tier 5?
They are Strada Statale, just not having SS numbers yet (or detrunked yet if heading the other direction), so they are going in itass just as all the green-hexagon roads are in itaa, even if they aren't Axx.

NSA (new road ANAS), roads waiting for classification

Sounds similar to future US interstates but there are also "ex" NSA routes. Former SS routes are "future" SS routes now....  ;D

I guess it will be a tier 5 system?

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuova_strada_ANAS

Are those Nuova strade ANAS routes the routes which have been transfered to ANAS and should be part of itass system now?
Or do those routes still exist in parallel?


NSA are usually new routes, not yet classified as SS, that get this ANAS internal denomination. Once the ministry agrees on a SS code, NSA number is scrapped.
Usually roads which are transferred back to ANAS do not go through this NSA classification.
As a matter of tier, they lie on the same one as SS, though.

Or let's ask this way: What's the potential next logical system below itass?

I think it should be SR (Strada Regionale). Technically, only 8 regions out of 20 contemplate SR, even though some of them actually have none (Piedmont, for instance, contemplate SR roads even though all SR have been transferred to provinces as SP).

Or let's ask this way: What's the potential next logical system below itass?
From what I remember from the three months I spent in Italy, there's the Strada Statale (~US highways), Strada Regionale (~state highways), and Strada Provinciale (~county highways) (the American equivalents are just me spitballing, not sure if they're accurate). The shields look the same (with SR and SP instead of SS). Now, finding somewhere that lists the Strada Regionale... that doesn't sound fun.

That is correct.

A bit of backstory about this "transfer-back" operation.

In 2001, the right wing government decided for a so-called "devolution" of some central powers (pushed by northern separatists of Lega). For instance, the National Healthcare System was re-arranged into regional subsystems (now under heavy criticism, given the very different approaches to the pandemic and to the vaccine campaign - but that's another story).
Many SS roads were then devolved to regions, which in turn devolved the vast majority of them to the provinces.

In 2014, however, with the pretext of spending review due to the financial crisis, the left wing government basically set provinces' budget to zero. Nominally they still have competencies (over schools, for instance, and of course provincial roads), but no money to finance manintenance, let alone new construction.

Since then, provincial roads fell into a state of profound decay and many denounced this lack of maintenance. ANAS was forced, then, to take some of these roads under its - much larger - budget in order to plan and finance renovations.

You mean, itass and itanss should both be tier 4 systems?

Nuova SS seem to be like future Interstates and usai (United States Interstate Highways) are tier 1, usaib (United States Business Interstate Highways) are tier 2 and usaif (United States Future Interstate Highways) are tier 3.

That would mean, itass = tier 4 and itanss = tier 5.

If itanss would be tier 5, itasr could also be tier 5. Why not.

Are SR routes unique all over Italy or does every region have it's own SR numbering? If the latter, we might think about splitting Italy into regions like we did for France, Germany, Spain and UK. Italy is the last "big" undivided European country on TM :D

If that's right, we might go ahead and address the changes to those regions. We could even activate the system and add the other routes later on when the transfer will be implemented (2022, 2023, 2030,...).
It may make more sense, yes.

yep, better adding the transferred routes and activating itass medium-term and adding newly transferred routes later than waiting ages for anything which might never happen.

Never fully understood the concept of "future Interstate". If it is a substandard road designated to become an Interstate, pending upgrade and renovation, then it's not the same thing as SS and NSA. NSA is immediately built up to its standard (which may or may not be superstrada): it just lacks the administrative act that assigns a number to it.

I agree with keeping the SS and NSA in the same tier, since they're essentially the same with minor administrative differences. Additionally, I think that adding the SR (in future) is probably a good idea, but adding the SP might be a bit too complicated.

@Si404, what do you generally think about a split into regions for future SR systems?

If we would agree on splitting, would we do it before or after the rework and/or activation of itass? I mean, we could also activate itass by regions.... smaller iterations, starting with regions where the transfer back to ANAS already happened etc.

After speaking with michih, I decided to do the rework (check the existing routes and add the new ones). Just that it will take some time, as I had in the last time little time for TM and the situation doesn't seem to dramatically improve in the next months. But I hope I can do it in a time horizon of about 1 year.

Thanks! I think that the rework includes a detailed review - four yearss after creation of the system - and another peer-review is not required.

I changed the European tier 4 overview (https://forum.travelmapping.net/index.php?topic=131.msg619#msg619):

itass - Italy Strada Statale (si404) reviewer: michih (many routes were transferred back to ANAS; system must be reworked)

itass - Italy Strada Statale (panda80) reviewer: rework = review (many routes were transferred back to ANAS; system is being reworked)

If not, do the pdfs per region indicate the routes which were transferred? https://www.stradeanas.it/it/le-strade/rientro-strade

Sorry if it's BS, I just saw a post on another forum with this link.... ;)

Yes, all regions I posted here are updated: Tuscany, Liguria, Molise, Basilicata, Umbria, Calabria, and also Abruzzo, Campania, Latium.
Marche and Puglia are updated but the new roads do not show in the map, only in the dropdown menu.

I contacted ANAS to let them know of the outdated maps.
They answered that they have programmed the maps update - but alas they didn't give me any time frame.

I would like to report that ANAS has finally updated the maps in their website.
I didn't thoroughly check all the roads but it seems they're mostly there.

EDIT:
It seems that *almost* all the regions had their maps updated, with the notable exception of Lombardy...

I'd love to see Italy split into regions. It is the last of the "big five" (Western) European countries which is not yet split on TM.

Please agree with @panda80 what's the best way (and time) to split because you'd work on the same files. I think it would be wise to wait till @panda80 will have dealt with all regions. But who knows what @panda80 thinks about it...

We should use https://tmstage.teresco.org/ for testing the split version, and keep in mind that there was some trouble when splitting DEU, ESP and FRA. The "new" 6-field user .list file entry (https://forum.travelmapping.net/index.php?topic=3694) should help.

First of all, what's the reason behind splitting Italy? For me the only reasonable one would be to be possible to activate region by region, but as the preview kms are also visible in the stats I don't see it to be a very important issue. As the plan to introduce SPs routes is a far-future one, I think we better wait with the splitting. Splitting has a big downside, it takes much longer to introduce the routes after a trip in the .list files, making TM user-unfriendly. In my opinion we should split just where it is absolutely necessary (like FRA, DEU for example, where someone already had the intention to introduce 5th tier systems in the near future when the splitting was done).

I have no reason to support or oppose splitting Italy, but did want to address one of panda80's concerns about entering travels across subdivisions.  Hopefully by viewing a route that crosses subdivision boundaries as a connected route, using the 6-field list entries that can span subdivisions makes it just as easy as if no subdivisions were there.

As Jim wrote, the 6-field list entries (https://travelmapping.net/participate.php#multiregion) can help. However, my list file structure is region by region and I don't use the option.

In my opinion we should split just where it is absolutely necessary (like FRA, DEU for example, where someone already had the intention to introduce 5th tier systems in the near future when the splitting was done).

3 out of 4 reason I mentioned above are still valid.

Since we get more and more travelers, and each traveler gets more and more travels, the conversion effort for the users will be least the earlier we will split.

Just my 2ct. I don't say that we have to split.

Note: si404 has already split the routes (wpt files). The next steps would (likely) "only" be testing the data set, and converting the user list files.

One bonus of splitting is that its easier to compare with ANAS data, which is done by region, and check that its all been brought up to date.

I'm easy either way.

  • The possibility to draft the tier 5 systems (sure, this will likely only happen in the remote future)
  • The possibility to track travels region by region
  • The possibility to compare region stats
  • The possibility to see that you've clinched a region (or that you are close to....)


You have the stats for a region, but than it's more difficult to see the stats for a country. Maybe for hardcore users, that like to invest a lot of time in TM and don't care about having to write much more lines after a trip (like us), it's ok, but for normal Joe travellers it's much more difficult. Noticed it as I introduced the A9 in Germany in my daughter list, after we drove from Munich to Berlin. Before the splitting of Germany you would have written 1 line, now you have to write about 20 lines, having to invest about 20-30 minutes in introducing this one motorway to your list file. I think Chriszwolle mentioned this aspect as he send his feedback about TM. I think he didn't updated his list afterwards.

I understand how you mean it (see Jim's post) but I still have to say: NO, you can't! You don't get the entries (by regions) but one entry only. Not good for users who sort their list file by regions. However, I think it would be doable. Likely no big deal. E.g. just another check box in the list tool to switch from 6- to 4-field-entries in showroute.php for connected routes.

Sorry I'm late to the party, guys.
So the Italy split needs to happen, and we're moving forward with it then? Looks like we're all prepared for it in any case...

I've uncommented the split systems and am loading them up on lab2 in order to take a look at eure2 in mapview.
I see that they are formatted systemName+'2' -- splitregion support was modeled after how FRA was done, and expects systemName+'r'. One of three things will need to happen:
1. Change these systems to systemName+'r' codes. <--It doesn't make sense to ask you to do this.
2. Change the splitregion routine to use '2' instead.
3. Change the splitregion routine to append a custom character string specified on the command line. <--This is the best option, though a wee bit more involved.

Edit: Changes made. I think. Haven't attempted compiling yet.
Edit 2: siteupdate reports a couple errors in the highway data, then crashes. I'm going to stash my changes and try option 2, just to be sure the problem wasn't introduced just now. I expect the results to be the same. This shouldn't be a showstopper though -- the crash occurs during .list rewrites, after we get the log files we need to make sure all the concurrencies check out.
Edit 3: No, wait! I'm pretty sure I didn't uncomment the split systems here on BiggaTomato. Lemme try that out.

Looking at Mapview of the regions to see what leaks out of the regions so I can do a first round of fixes at some point

The log files are pretty big and unmanageable.
<snip?
Once these issues are fixed I can give it another go and see what's left over.
I've gone through and hopefully dealt with all the stuff leaking out of their rightful regions.

One issue I found that would give an awful lot of errors is that I didn't add the split points into itass. That won't take long as I have files to do that.

Now to get it all uploaded without Github crashing on me.  :pan:

Unrelated to the split -- looks like there's nothing wrong with this; it's just uniquely weird:

This route looks like it's unbannered SS27 (Variney), as opposed to a Variante without an Abbrev.
That makes it SS27Var, which ends at... SS27Var. A Variante. This is a normal waypoint label, as it's standard to leave off Abbrevs from labels unless needed to disambiguate.
Unbannered SS27 picks up again on the other side. Is this similar to how A1 will become A1(M) for a while, or IRL M6 becomes N6?

My only authority on this is when I lived in Italy for a couple months back in 2019, but the SS -> SR change signifies a change from a national highway to a regional highway (i.e. who maintains it... I think. In the given case SS27 would be maintained by ANAS while SR27 would be maintained by whoever in Aosta is in charge of that).
The "Var" suffix I don't really understand at all; I went on a run one day from Firenze to Ellera to clinch SS67VarFal (https://travelmapping.net/hb/showroute.php?units=miles&u=the_spui_ninja&r=ita.ss067varfal) (yes I've clinched highways by running) and SS67 just turns into SS67Var (see here (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.7840982,11.3684521,3a,15y,74.04h,91.09t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1ssq3EOLn-FF_acWMlbsFL3A!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)) then turns back again on the other side of Ellera. My only thought is that the main road in Ellera used to be part of SS67, then they built SS67Var and decommissioned the bit of SS67 in Ellera without any renumbering. It looks like the same thing with SS27, since there's a road through Cré that looks like it used to be SS27.

That's exactly what it is. It's building a bannered bypass, amd keeping the bannered route bannered rather than making it vanilla when the bypassed vanilla road is renumbered (normally not long after the bypass opens - basically as soon as they transfer maintenance).

It seems to be a get around for kilometre posts changes when a new alignment happens is to treat the new alignment as a different road and so the mileage markers don't change on the vanilla route.

A Variante is an upgrade of a road on a different alignment. The "variante" suffix pops up when owners of the original road and the variante are the same entity, typically the State through ANAS.

It goes like this. Road SSxx need to be upgraded on a different alignment; ANAS builds it and the new one becomes SSxxVar. Then several scenarios open:
- it stays like this;
- the original road is transferred to provinces, which may or may not rename it. The SS is always lost, but it can get SP, SR, SPexSS SP_provincecode...
- if the original road is transferred, the variante may or may not get renamed to the original road name. That happened for instance with SS76: the original road was called SS76, when the superstrada was built in the 70s it was transferred to the province and called SP76, while the superstrada got the original SS76 name.

Regarding the example of SS27, it seems that in the website database SS27var is wrong. According to ANAS website, SS27var basically ends at the town of Gignod and ends at the current SS27Var waypoint, while the rest belongs to SS27:

I think the DB actually has it right.
What's confusing is that for ITA SS27Var, Var is a city abbreviation (for Variney) rather than a banner:

As for ANAS website, it appears it is not updated yet  :pan:

Is it updated now?

If not, do the pdfs per region indicate the routes which were transferred? https://www.stradeanas.it/it/le-strade/rientro-strade

Sorry if it's BS, I just saw a post on another forum with this link.... ;)

Yes, all regions I posted here are updated: Tuscany, Liguria, Molise, Basilicata, Umbria, Calabria, and also Abruzzo, Campania, Latium.
Marche and Puglia are updated but the new roads do not show in the map, only in the dropdown menu.

I contacted ANAS to let them know of the outdated maps.
They answered that they have programmed the maps update - but alas they didn't give me any time frame.

I would like to report that ANAS has finally updated the maps in their website.
I didn't thoroughly check all the roads but it seems they're mostly there.

EDIT:
It seems that *almost* all the regions had their maps updated, with the notable exception of Lombardy...

Lombardy has been updated as well on ANAS Website.

After speaking with michih, I decided to do the rework (check the existing routes and add the new ones). Just that it will take some time, as I had in the last time little time for TM and the situation doesn't seem to dramatically improve in the next months. But I hope I can do it in a time horizon of about 1 year.

I think 8 out of 20 regions are done now. Not much "off the initial estimation". @panda80 told me back in September that he will be quite busy with life in the next months..... Expect delays....

@si404 dealt with the region split meanwhile. Not sure what's the next step on this. Are you waiting for anything - or just lack of time?

I'm rather busy currently, but there's not a huge amount I can do on the region split other than fix errors I already know about. And I believe I did all the route segments aren't right errors.

We currently think about a seamless way for splitting a region into multiple regions behind the scenes. It seems that we might have a solution without forcing users to update their list files. However, it will still take time to implement it. Just stay tuned :)

@Si404, what do you generally think about a split into regions for future SR systems?

If we would agree on splitting, would we do it before or after the rework and/or activation of itass? I mean, we could also activate itass by regions.... smaller iterations, starting with regions where the transfer back to ANAS already happened etc.
If there's going to do a split, the rework and review of itass is the time to do it.
Bump on this - do we want to split?

I've drafted split routes for the other systems, and am happy to do itass if we decide to split.

I am quite in delay with the introduction of the new routes, because I had much less time in the last months for TM. I was also stuck because in some provinces there are also SP's on the lists, should we introduce them too? They will be maintained by ANAS but will remain with an SP number from what I understand.

Dropping this here because it seems this is the de facto Italy Split topic.
Making a separate post for this in case it's appropriate to split this one and merge elsewhere.

Is it the last transfer or do they plan another one?

ANAS website doesn't explicitly say, but there are reasons to believe this will be the last one.

For instance, 15 out of 20 regions (11 + 4) have been addressed. The remaining 5 regions are the so-called "special status" ones (Aosta valley, Sicily, Sardinia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige) which have different rules in their relation with the central State. For instance, the 2001 law that devolved those ANAS roads to the regions did not involve special status regions in the first place.

EDIT: Actually, my previous statement is false.
Roads in Tuscany have been transferred back to ANAS in both occasions, so the regions addressed are 14. Veneto is the only "normal status" one that wasn't addressed.

So apparently regions can be managed in rounds, meaning that there is no way to know if there will be more instances also for regions already addressed.

Just out of curiosity, is Friuli-Venezia Giulia (or any other "special status region") addressed now?

Is it the last transfer or do they plan another one?

ANAS website doesn't explicitly say, but there are reasons to believe this will be the last one.

For instance, 15 out of 20 regions (11 + 4) have been addressed. The remaining 5 regions are the so-called "special status" ones (Aosta valley, Sicily, Sardinia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige) which have different rules in their relation with the central State. For instance, the 2001 law that devolved those ANAS roads to the regions did not involve special status regions in the first place.

EDIT: Actually, my previous statement is false.
Roads in Tuscany have been transferred back to ANAS in both occasions, so the regions addressed are 14. Veneto is the only "normal status" one that wasn't addressed.

So apparently regions can be managed in rounds, meaning that there is no way to know if there will be more instances also for regions already addressed.

Nope.
Maybe the status of these special regions road won't be changed at all.

The name of the system should be Italy Strade Statali (plural), not Italy Strada Statale (singular)
