Across all continents, it is commonly used for short and medium distances and in long distance haulage when minimizing time is important. In all instances governments play a critical role in ensuring the competitive advantage of private sector operators. Countries often have many opportunities to minimize the physical or administrative barriers that increase costs, take measures to enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of road transport, or generally nurture the integral role of international road freight transport in the global trade logistics industry. Road freight transport is critical to domestic and international trade. It is the dominant mode of transport for overland movement of trade traffic, carrying more than 80 percent of traffic in most regions. Generally, nearly all trade traffic is carried by road at some point. Therefore, the cost and quality of road transport services is of critical importance to trade competitiveness of countries and regions within countries. In fact, road transport is fundamental to modern international division of labor and supply-chain management.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEACCESSIBILITYAGREEMENT IN QUESTIONAIRAIR PASSENGERAIR SERVICESAIR TRANSPORTALTERNATIVE ROUTESAUTHORIZATIONBARRIERS TO TRADEBEST PRACTICEBEST PRACTICESBILATERAL AGREEMENTSBILATERAL TREATIESBORDER CROSSINGBOUNDARIESCARGOCARRIERSCONFLICTSCONSTRAINTCONVENTIONCOST OF TRANSPORTCOSTS OF TRANSPORTCUSTOMARY INTERNATIONAL LAWDEMAND FOR ROAD TRANSPORTDISPUTE SETTLEMENTDRAFT AGREEMENTSDRIVERSDRIVINGECONOMIC AGREEMENTECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC INTEGRATIONEFFICIENT TRANSPORTEMISSIONSEMISSIONS STANDARDSENTRY INTO FORCEEUROPEAN UNIONFLEET SIZEFLEETSFOREIGN TERRITORIESFOREIGN TRADEFREE TRANSPORTFREIGHTFREIGHT MARKETFREIGHT TRAFFICFREIGHT TRANSPORTFRONTIERSFUELGENERAL AGREEMENT ON TARIFFSGENERAL INTERNATIONAL LAWGLOBAL TRADEHAULAGEIBRDINITIATIVEINLAND TRANSPORTINSPECTIONINTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL INSTRUMENTSINTERNATIONAL LAWINTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONSINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERNATIONAL RELATIONSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTINTERNATIONAL TREATIESINVESTIGATIONJOURNEYLAW OF TREATIESLEGAL INSTRUMENTSLEGAL STATUSLIABILITYLONG-DISTANCEMEANS OF TRANSPORTMEETINGMEMBER STATESMINISTERSMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATIONMODE OF TRANSPORTMODES OF TRANSPORTMULTILATERAL AGREEMENTSMULTILATERAL TREATIESNATIONAL INTERESTNATIONAL TERRITORIESNATIONSNEGOTIATIONNEGOTIATION PROCESSNEGOTIATIONSNEGOTIATORSOVERSEAS TERRITORIESPASSENGER SERVICESPATHSPENALTIESPENALTYPREFERENTIALPROTOCOLSRAILRAIL TRANSPORTRAILWAYSRECIPROCITYRECONSTRUCTIONREGIONAL INTEGRATIONREGIONAL ROAD TRANSPORTROADROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD SAFETYROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT SERVICESROUTEROUTESSANCTIONSTAXTAX EXEMPTIONSTOLLSTRADE AGREEMENTSTRADE POLICYTRADE RELATIONSHIPSTRAFFICTRAFFIC SAFETYTRAFFIC VOLUMESTRANSITTRANSIT OPERATIONSTRANSIT RIGHTSTRANSIT SYSTEMSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORT AGREEMENTTRANSPORT AGREEMENTSTRANSPORT CORRIDORSTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT ECONOMICSTRANSPORT EFFICIENCYTRANSPORT FACILITATIONTRANSPORT INDUSTRYTRANSPORT MARKETSTRANSPORT OF GOODSTRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT POLICY MAKERSTRANSPORT SERVICETRANSPORT TECHNOLOGYTRANSPORTSTREATYTREATY INTERPRETATIONTRIPSTRUCKSTRUETYPE OF TRANSPORTTYPES OF TRAFFICVEHICLEVEHICLE FLEETVEHICLESWORLD TRADEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-9851-7
