Phrases ‘express road’ and ‘toll road’ to be included in Road Law

The parliamentary commission on economy, budget and finance on February 23 approved the Government’s initiative to introduce new notions in the Road Law, like highway, express road and toll road. The move is aimed at adjusting the national legislation on roads to the European one. According to the Ministry of Transport and Road Infrastructure, the new phrases will enable to attract more investments to the given sector. The commission’s chairman Veaceslav Ionita has told Info-Prim Neo that there may be drawn up a road register that would facilitate the keeping of records of roads, according to different parameters. The MP also referred to the problem of constructions on the side of the road. “We do not have procedures for authorizing constructions on roadside. Until now, the related activities were governed by internal documents of the Ministry of Transport, but they should be regulated by law,” said Veaceslav Ionita.
