WE 4 YOU
When designing roads, the Operators provide motorway facilities with rest areas, service stations, parking areas and emergency bays located at predetermined distances. Although the Italian territory is rich in mountains and deep valleys, where this kind of safety feature can be barely provided, we dedicate ourselves and our investments in keeping you safe. In return, you are asked to make use of all the means you are offered.
Do not get distracted with the risk of representing a danger for you and the others. If you need to make a phone call, look on the map, or GPS navigation system or send a message, please stop in a rest area or a service station. Spend two minutes to safeguard your own and other people's lives. Choose life.
When?
Any time when driving.
What?
Never exclude the possibility of unexpected events. Be extremely careful in any manoeuvre you make and pay attention to the obstacles you encounter over your scenario.
Whatever the reason and urgency for distraction might be, stop in a rest area or a service station. Emergency lanes and bays are reserved for emergency and crisis situations.
Why?
Motorway systems are very safe provided that drivers are attentive. A small distraction may cost very dear to yourself and the other users.
