It connects the industrial centers Padua -Bologna, and provides a connection between the northeast and the center of Italy represents the A13 begins in Bologna, where they branched off from the ring road, which form the A1 and the A14 Bologna. Northwards to extend it leads the Bologna airport over to the provincial capital of Ferrara, where the feeder road RA08 Ferrara - Porto Garibaldi leads into the A13.

The section Padova Sud and Monselice to 13.3 km, and the section Ferrara - Bologna with 32.7 kilometers to six lanes ( three lanes in each direction) to be expanded.

Tutor and fog signals

The A13 was common with the A4 and A14 selected to test the new system tutor. Here, not speed, is measured at a specific location, but the average speed over a longer distance ( roughly comparable to the Section Control used in Austria ).

This applies to the sections between junctions Occiobello and Archoveggio at Bologna and between Rovigo and Padua - Zona Industriale.

The A13 leads in their section by a winter very often affected by ground fog region, so it is fitted in wide sections with white semi-circles on the side of the highway, a visual aid to offer in fog.
