Roadtrip to Salemi

One of our first road trps was on January 27 when we drove to Salemi and onto Gibellina. The map showed a yellow line, indicating an important road. Only two other types of roads would be considered better: a primary road and a freeway. The important roads are numbered  on the map but rarely is there any number along the road itself. This particular one is the P8. At the moment we were both convinced we had taken a wrong turn, we came to a cross road that had signs.

At the next major crossroads there was no sign. The one to the left which was not on our map looked brand new, going toward Borgo Fazio. We decided to stay to the right per the map. Deep ruts and mud made it seem more like an unpaved country road but we forged on. Eventually we came to an intersection that had two signs pointing in different directions, both said Salemi.

What we have learned: The entire region of Trapani is encircled by the A29 so from any direction within the region you might come across a sign toward the A29. Sometimes the sign will say "dir. Trapani" or "dir Salemi" so you still don't know what road you are on but you know that road will take you in the direction of Trapani, Salemi, etc. Unless, of course, there is a fork in the road, which most often will  not have a sign and then you have no idea which way to turn.
