Andrus Kross from the Highways Board who is working on the development project Smart Road, said that currently the public information about road conditions and traffic restrictions is posted in several places on the internet and is sometimes hard to find.
Now the board aims to create a public web portal that consolidates any road information: warnings, information on road works, traffic detours, new traffic signs, road and weather conditions and possible traffic jams.
The new portal should be complete before the end of the 2011 and will cost around 5 million kroons.
