Moreover, the digitalisation of road traffic rules supports real-time traffic information services, facilitating lawful conduct and enabling drivers to respect national traffic regulations, including when driving abroad. Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council requires Member States to ensure that static and dynamic data as regards speed limits applicable to the comprehensive trans-European network for roads, other motorways and sections of primary roads, as well as to cities at the centre of urban nodes, under certain conditions, are available and accessible via national access points by 31 December 2028. Directive 2010/40/EU also encourages Member States to make data on speed limits accessible for other parts of their road network. It contains a review clause, on the basis of which the Commission is to review the progress made with regard to the availability and accessibility of data, among others, and propose, where appropriate, to adapt by 31 December 2028 the geographical coverage of certain data types considered crucial.
