Development of Strategic Directions of Road Transport for the Republic of Moldova in the Context of European Union

Abstract

The key principles underlying the acquis communautaire in the field of transport identify the progress made and the delays that the Republic of Moldova still has in terms of convergence towards European transport standards. The correlation between increased road traffic and health risks continues to grow. The problem cannot be solved by a single measure or public policy, but an integrated approach is needed to reduce the negative effects of road transport, harmful gas emissions and noise, as well as road accidents, the number of which is constantly increasing. This problem is also very current for the Republic of Moldova, where over 200 thousand transport units are registered annually, the transport arteries remaining the same.
