The goal of the Swedish National Road Administration is to create a sustainable and efficient transport system. They are developing new planning methods that focus on meeting the needs of road users and promoting sustainable development. These methods include setting clear targets and criteria for road projects, monitoring the quality of roads, and assessing the impact on natural and cultural heritage. By using this approach, they aim to improve road planning and maintenance, ensuring better outcomes for both new and existing roads. The new method is currently being tested in real road projects and is expected to be fully developed by 2005.
