The Commission plans to implement a directive to make the fitting of retro-reflective material to HGV compulsory.
The principal objective is to reduce the number of accidents due to the bad visibility of HGV during darkness. The objective of the study is to assess, by means of cost-benefit analysis, the probable consequences of making so-called contour or line markings mandatory.
The outcome of this study is that such action would be cost-beneficial (between 1.3 and 3.4 to 1)
