European Commission speeds up roll-out of information services for motorists

The European Commission promotes the roll-out of intelligent information services for Europe's drivers. Rules adopted today ensure such information services will be compatible across Europe.

These information services for motorists include real-time warnings about traffic conditions, and the location of safe and secure parking places for trucks.

Estimates suggest that intelligent information services could reduce the number of road deaths by up to 7%.
