Potential for learning or transfer

Given the fact that the ring road for Targu Jiu 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.
