Climate actions
Vegetation roads maintenance
Objective
To improve the resilience of road transport.Description
In order to increase the resilience of the road transport sector, it is recommended to replace mature trees with hedges (using elastic woody plants suitable for and more adapted to a given climate zone) and planting of the vegetation at adequate distance from the road surface.
