It is important that any gaps in the network are closed so that the federal trunk roads continue to meet the requirements of a modern, high-performance infrastructure in the future. The assets and usability of the existing infrastructure, which are of significant importance to the economy, must be continuously maintained and developed according to need. Optimization of the links to other modes of transport is also of high importance.
The motorway service areas and facilities on the federal motorways are an important part of this transport system. They also make a contribution to road safety by providing the opportunity to rest and obtain supplies.
