Noise is an important factor to be considered when it comes to developing, upgrading, and maintaining national road networks in Europe. Examples of such activities are included in this
report. In some EU member states, significant financial resources are used to incorporate noise
abatement measures into the development or upgrading of national roads. Therefore, there is a
need to optimise and improve the way such resources are used. One way to ensure this is to
encourage member states to sha ...[more] |

Human vision is not well adapted to night-time conditions. Hence, road users need technical solutions, such as street lighting and retroreflective materials, in order to be able to drive, cycle or walk safe at night. Night-time traffic implies some certain problems, for example glare and difficulties with detecting obstacles and estimating distances. Different groups of road users have different prerequisites and needs, and the problems encountered may thus vary. In order to improve traffic safe ...[more] |
