Information about Baltic States’ and Finland’s roads to be available on the Internet
The Latvian Road Administration in cooperation with its Estonian, Lithuanian, and Finnish counterparts is planning to inform drivers via the Internet about weather conditions on roads and the condition of roads in these countries. A component of the joint project is an Internet home page, which is already available, although it will be fully ready by the end of next January.
There are 30 meteorological stations set up along Latvia’s roads, measuring air temperature, air humidity, precipitation, as well as determining the condition of the road cover using special sensors. The Latvian Road Administration plans to invite fuel stations and car parking lots to install “electronic information stalls” providing information to drivers about the situation on the roads.
