Welcome to the Studies on Safe and Secure Parking Areas Across the EU

• This section provides an overview of two key studies conducted on safe and secure parking areas (SSPAs) for trucks in the European Union.

The first study (MOVE/C1/2017-500) was conducted in 2019 and identified critical gaps in the availability and quality of parking areas for heavy-duty vehicles. Building on these findings, the second study (MOVE/C1/SER/2023-138) further assesses the progress made and identifies remaining challenges. It evaluates the implementation of EU standards for SSPAs and explores measures to enhance security, driver well-being, and overall road transport efficiency.
