Guaranteed service levels for road users

In order to minimise the effects of the roadworks on traffic during peak traffic times, a dynamic traffic sign management system has been planned for the spring/summer period, when the motorway is most heavily used by drivers. Thanks to this system, two lanes will always be made available for the predominant direction of traffic according to the following schedule:

• From Friday to Sunday morning, two lanes will be available in the direction of La Spezia (flow of predominant traffic) and one lane in the direction of Parma.
• From Sunday afternoon to Monday morning, two lanes in the direction of Parma (flow of predominant traffic) and one lane in the direction of La Spezia.

Additional management measures implemented by the Concessionaire during the period of roadworks

• Activation of escape routes to allow motorway traffic to flow into the provincial road network in the event of a prolonged traffic jam.
• Provision of emergency lanes within the works area to permanently guarantee the transit of emergency vehicles.
• Renovation of motorway by-passes to facilitate contraflow lane reversals.
• Positioning of two recovery trucks at strategic points to remove any broken-down vehicles as quickly as possible.
• Deployment, during the winter period, of an adequate number of bags of chemical de-icer along the stretch.
• Deployment of a snow plough and a salt spreader in addition to the normal winter management procedure.
• Signing of agreements with the Traffic Police districts in Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, as part of the national snow plans and summer holiday travel plans.
