per questa strada si fa prima

per questa strada si fa prima
I translated this as "it's faster if you take this street". Is it correct?

 

[TinadV]

Yes, it's faster/quicker if you take this street.

 

[Heracleum]

Well, yes. Actually that colloquial sentence could also be rendered as:
"percorrendo questa strada si impiega meno tempo"
"following this route/road it takes less time"

 

[ale66]

I would say
"this way it's quicker"

 

[GavinW]

I would say
"this way it's quicker"

Yes, definitely. Or "It's quicker this way".

No. Shortcut = scorciatoia.
