This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
Dragasani city was affected specially by the intense transit traffic especially on the main road. The street was relatively narrow, and the majority of the constructions are over 50 years old. They were not built properly in order to absorb the vibrations produced by the intense and heavy traffic. This situation represented a threat over the stability of many constructions in the city.
That is why the public administration decided to build a ring road aiming at improving region’s accessibility and population’s mobility between cities.
The project consisted in building in the outside area of Dragasani a ring road of 5.9 km.
The road assures the decongestion of the traffic on the national road no.64, road that links the South and The North area of Oltenia. Also, it removes outside the urban density area of the intense circulation (4 vehicle/ minute). The main beneficiaries of the practice are the population of the city and the people who transit the city.

Potential for learning or transfer
Given the fact that the ring road for Dragasani Municipality contributes to the improvement of region’s accessibility and population mobility by streamlining the urban traffic, RDA SW Oltenia undertook some major steps towards the competent institutions in the field, in order to be materialized as soon as possible other three ring roads in the region, underlining their importance and necessity. We consider that, starting from the identification of real needs, this practice has potential for replication in other regions, as well.
