Snow tyres are compulsory from 15 November to 15 April on the whole highway track, according to the Italian directives.

The only uplands in the surroundings are Colli Euganei, the famous thermal area with Abano Terme in the middle.

Due to these kinds of morphological features of the territory that the highway crosses, during the winter-like season the presence of fog is frequent, leading to a poor and reduced visibility.

By the exit Ferrara South there is a beltway leading to Porto Garibaldi, a town on the Adriatic Sea, whose first segment (between Ferrara South and the junction with state road SS16) is owned by Autostrade per l'Italia, while from this junction up to SS309 "Romea" it is owned by ANAS.

This motorway has been chosen, along with A4 and A14, to experiment new devices (called Safety Tutor) to measure vehicles average speed, working since 2005.

The second tutor, which calculates the average speed basing on the data collected by the previous one, is located just before the highway exit to Ferrara North.
