Management of the Public Road Network<\/strong><\/p>\n

The management of the public road network is carried out by different institutions depending on the road class. The\u00a0Roads Authority<\/strong>\u00a0is responsible for the management of the trunk roads (i.e. the main, secondary and tertiary roads) and\u00a0Local Authorities<\/strong>\u00a0(i.e. City, Town, Municipal or District Councils) are responsible for the management of district and urban roads within their jurisdictions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
