Abstract

Sustainable development is a desideratum for any society. But it cannot be achieved without respect for the right of future generations to enjoy all the resources, in the conditions of a cleaner environment. Transport, without which no society can develop, must meet a number of economic, social and environmental conditions in order to be sustainable. Sustainable transport systems cannot exist without sustainable infrastructure. This paper addresses several aspects of this topic in the field of road transport at the European Union level, as it has the highest share of transport activity, although the Union has been promoting multimodal transport over the last decades. Here are some definitions of sustainable roads, the importance of road transport infrastructure in the European Union and the role of certificates for achieving sustainable road performance.
