Topic area: Prohibitions, requirements and restrictions
Modern and safe roads need comprehensible, efficient and transparent laws for road users and operators.Initial situation
Successful safety work is based on the ongoing development and adaptation of the legal framework. To this end, the legal and normative framework conditions must be continuously reviewed to ensure that they are up to date, comprehensible, effective and applicable, and to develop proposals for improvement. The focus is on
- Interests and laws that conflict with security concerns
- Barriers in the distribution of competencies, federalism
Improvements in comprehensibility, publicity - Lack of knowledge or information among the target groups
- Limited applicability of some regulations
- Acceptance by politicians and users
