The project addresses the construction of a new Safe and Secure Truck Parking Area (SSTPA) located on the Slovenian Motorway A1 adjacent to sections No. 40 Celje – Arja Vas and No. 41 Arja Vas – Šentrupert on the Baltic- Adriatic and Mediterranean Corridors.

The objective of the project is to build a new SSTPA in compliance with the “Silver” level EU Parking Standard provided by the European Commission’s study on Safe and Secure Parking Places for Trucks (MOVE/ C1/2017-500) and with the Directive 2010/40/EU and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 885/2013 with regard to the provision of information services for safe and secure parking places for trucks and commercial vehicles. To deliver on the objective, the project covers the construction of the SSTPA in an area of almost 18,000 m2 with 90 parking spaces for Heavy Good Vehicles (HGV), including two parking spaces for intervention (in case of incidents in the parking area) and one for vehicles carrying dangerous goods.

The project will deliver benefits for freight transport and an enhanced service quality for the haulage industry by increasing safety for its drivers along the Baltic-Adriatic and Mediterranean Corridors.
