Motorway Service Areas
TII provides on-line service areas on motorways and high quality dual carriageways.
A safe road network includes the provision of sufficient parking areas to allow drivers to stop and rest, as established by European Union regulations under the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) policy.
These are known as On-Line Service Areas. This differs from off-line areas i.e. locations at, or near, interchanges or at a further distance from the motorway or duel carriageway mainline.
