Secure parking every 100 km along the TEN-T core roads


The European Commission will award EUR 60 million to improve the safe and secure truck parking areas (SSTPAs) network across Europe and has recently published a call for proposals. The priorities for the investment will include the development of new SSTPAs approximately every 100 km along the TEN-T core road network and upgrades to the safety, security and services of existing rest areas.

 

The plans represent a major first step in improving conditions for long-distance drivers across Europe, the International Road Union (IRU) says. Currently, there are only 300,000 available truck parking spaces in the EU, a significant 100,000 shortfall of the total demand for overnight parking and regular rests. Only 7,000 of them are certified and labelled safe and secure. (ben)
