A developed, high-capacity and safe road network is the basis for growth and prosperity in all national economies. It enables mobility, which is an essential prerequisite for our globalised, work-sharing economy and for a high quality of life and, therefore, for a society’s prosperity. In short: the national economy is reliant on road infrastructure. This applies equally to developing countries, to countries in transition and to developed countries.
