Eh, is not as bad as they say. I drive it often and it is only bad when there is a total closure because of an accident. I have driven on much worse “highways” in the US, Africa, and Asia. In fact, there are horrible highways just in Eastern Europe I will never drive again if possible.

I'm from Catania! It was a bit of a joke to say it's the worst in the world, but it's definitely the worst in Sicily. There are constant road closures, construction zones, and two-way sections where you can't pass... it's pretty awful 🤷‍♀️
