Heavy-goods vehicles and buses circulating within the European Union must comply with certain rules regarding their weight, height, width and length, in accordance with the Weights and Dimensions Directive. The revision of the current Directive aims at improving road safety, energy efficiency and the environmental performance of road transport through greener and safer trucks.

In 2011 the European Parliament and Council adopted a Directive to facilitate cross-border exchange of information on traffic offences related to road safety. The aim was to improve road safety by establishing a basis for the enforcement of sanctions for traffic offences committed by non-resident drivers. The Court of Justice of the European Union annulled this Directive in May 2014, finding that it had been adopted on an invalid legal basis, but allowed its effects to be maintained for a further ...
