Roadex proposes a 3-year trans-national technical collaboration across the Northern Periphery to develop ways for interactive and innovative road management of low traffic volume roads. The project will deal directly with road and transport issues raised by the unique combinations of remoteness, climate, ground conditions, low traffic volumes and long distances to markets. The main issues to be addressed in the ROADEX II project concern the interdependent relationships between local minor road networks, rural communities and industries, and how these can be improved for the benefit of all.
