Italian term or phrase: strada di penetrazione
Context: La centralità dell’intersezione ovvero, la sua posizione strategica rispetto al sistema viario (box rosso) , vista anche la presenza dell’unica stazione ferroviaria per l’intera area amalfitana, è evidenziata nella figura successiva dove in giallo è rappresentata la ferrovia Napoli – Salerno, in rosso l’autostrada Napoli – Salerno, in blue la statale S.S.18 di collegamento tra Salerno e Cava de Tirreni, in arancione la Statale S.S. 163 di penetrazione alla costiera amalfitana ed in verde la viabilità locale.

access road/ coast road
Explanation:
This is the road which runs along the Amalfi Coast through places like Positano and Praiano. I would have thought that "coastal access road", or "access road to the Amalfi Coast", or just "Amalfi coast road" would suffice.

State Highway SS163 leading to the Amalfi Coast


Explanation:
= "Statale S.S. 163 di penetrazione alla costiera amalfitana"

note that in the English translation I have left out the dots in "SS163" since in English, such dots are completely redundant - but it would still be advisable to include the Italian designation of the road, albeit in anglicised form.
