SAFETY, OUR PRIORITY
At each end of the Duplex A86, maintenance and safety responders are ready to step in.
The Duplex A86 control and monitoring centre
• At the control and monitoring centre, supervisors constantly monitor screens displaying images from CCTV cameras placed every 80 metres.
• The automatic incident detection system notifies them any traffic anomalies (stalled vehicle, unusual slow-down, etc).
• In the Duplex A86, vehicles travel in the same direction, eliminating the risk of frontal collision.
• The 70 kph speed limit fosters smooth traffic flow.
• The safety system was approved by the government.
Shelters are located every 200 metres. They are monitored by CCTV and equipped with emergency call stations to contact the control and monitoring centre.
