Road infrastructure is and will remain a symbol of social and economic progress: resilient and sustainable road infrastructure will be a key element in the transition towards green and smart mobility. All actors of the road community are now looking at solutions in this sense as well as to reduce GES and save energy consumption.

Routes de France and the European Union Road Federation, together with their partners all over the world have boosted discussion over those topics.
