In overeenstemming met artikel 9, derde lid, van de Overeenkomst heeft de Secretaris-Generaal van de Verenigde Naties de door de regering van Duitsland voorgestelde wijzigingen van Bijlage II bij de Overeenkomst, op 25 februari 2015 ter kennis gebracht van alle partijen. De Engelse tekst¹⁾ van de artikelen IV.4.2, IV.4.4 en IV.7.2, zoals gewijzigd, luidt als volgt:

Annex II
Conditions to which the main international traffic arteries should conform

Contents

IV. EQUIPMENT

• 4. Traffic control

  • 4.1 Traffic light signals

  • 4.2 Variable message signs

  • 4.3 Emergency communications systems

  • 4.4 User information

IV.4.2. Variable message signs

Variable message signs shall be used in accordance with the international conventions and agreements in force.

Variable message signs shall be as comprehensible as static road signs, and be legible by day and night to drivers in all lanes. In particular, variable message signs may be used where special road safety requirements and/or road capacity problems exist.

IV.4.4 User information

Up-to-date information on road and traffic conditions should be transmitted to road users by appropriate means (e.g. variable message signs). Possibility of receiving such information in tunnels is advisable. Contracting Parties should endeavour to harmonize the content and presentation of road and traffic conditions information as far as possible.

IV.7.2 Service areas

Service areas adapted both to the site and to its users (e.g. tourists, road hauliers) and away from interchanges shall provide a minimum of services such as parking space for trucks, buses and cars, fuel, restaurant and toilets with easy access for physically disabled persons.

Due to the increasing number of vehicles in international traffic using alternative energy propulsion systems, it is also desirable to provide refuelling points for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), hydrogen (H2), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), and electricity.

These areas should be provided at appropriate intervals, taking into account, among other things, the volume of traffic; a sign indicating the approach to a service area should also indicate the distance to the next service area and the type of services available.

All traffic and parking areas shall be separated from the carriageway(s) of the E-road.
