A1 București–Pitești: trei benzi pe sens, fără bandă de urgență la pasaje

The A1 Bucharest-Pitești highway is set to be expanded to three lanes per direction, but emergency lanes may not be continuous. The project is currently in the feasibility study bidding phase, with authorities seeking ways to expedite construction without major infrastructure changes. The highway experiences the highest traffic in Romania, necessitating the expansion. The plan includes converting emergency lanes into additional traffic lanes where feasible, while maintaining safety measures. Concerns about safety arise from the lack of continuous emergency lanes, but officials argue that the changes will only affect short segments near overpasses. Future regulations aim to improve emergency lane provisions on express roads.
