trunk road
I think asse stradale serves to emphasise the importance of the road.
"A trunk road ....... is a major road—usually connecting two or more cities, ports, airports, etc.—which is the recommended route for long-distance and freight traffic" - see wikipedia link below.

: I totally agree. With trunk road you put more emphasis on the importance of the road. I think in this case it is better to use trunk road instead of simply road.

: look at the links - no real English language sites here, and many links that have nothing to do with roads.

main route by road
"... located on the main route by road to Budapest... ", The word "asse" indicates that this is the main route by road and not just any route, difficult to express in just two words in English in this particular case.
