In 2012, road sector was still influenced by the economic crisis and related mitigation processes. Consolidation of the national budget continued, and it included significant reductions of budget expenditures. There were practically no state State Road Network 4 budget investments in the road sector. Construction and reconstruction works were financed by the EU Cohesion Fund and ERDF. Although in general the economic recession was replaced by development in 2012, GDP index was still by 12 % lower in comparison with the level of 2007. Road Traffic 8 In 2012, State Joint Stock Company Latvian State Roads ensured management of 20 115 kilometres of state roads. Although financing for the state roads was insufficient, safe traffic on roads was provided by performing fewer of less Road Financing 18 important road works, such as carriageway marking, renewal of information signs, ensuring of lateral visibility and road treatment. The year 2012 was rich in discussions on the shortage of financial means, constantly growing deficit of road maintenance Results Achieved 22 and repair works, and renewal of the road fund. The Ministry of Transport submitted an informative report On financing model for state roads to the Cabinet of Ministers. Report stated that, as a result of extended insufficient financing for state and municipality roads and streets, the state and municipalities may no longer maintain the road network in condition adequate for safe and convenient traffic. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new financing model for roads that would provide consistent and predictable financial means for this significant sector. Informative MoT report suggests to link the planned roads financing to road user payments by defining that financing, allocated to the state budget programme The State Road Fund annually, shall not be smaller than the planned state budget revenues from vehicle tax and a specific portion of state budget revenues from excise tax for oil products: in 2014 – 20 %, in 2015 – 30 %, in 2016 – 40 %, in 2017 – 50 %, in 2018 – 60 %, in 2019 – 70 % and in 2020 and henceforward – 80 %. In 2012, state roads received financing that corresponds only to 19 % from the revenues of excise tax for oil products, not including road user payments of vehicle tax. Future road financing linked to road user payments would ensure purposeful reconstruction of the state roads by renovating collapsed roads or roads in poor condition, and it would also provide sufficient subsidies for municipal roads and streets. In general, the Cabinet of Ministers took note of the submitted report and decided to review the question of further financing model for state roads within the preparation of draft state budget 2014. Therefore it may be concluded that discussions about road sector financing are not over. They will continue until a financing model adequate to the state road condition will be adopted. Meanwhile roads continue to deteriorate faster than they are being renovated. During the last years road financing from the state budget was channelled mostly to routine maintenance works. Hardly anything was assigned to periodic maintenance and reconstruction of the state road network. Total deficit of works on state roads with bituminous pavement has reached 2.859 billion Lats, on gravel roads – 1.663 billion Lats. Due to repair works postponed for too long the level of damage has increased so far that it is impossible to renovate roads with inexpensive technologies. The client has to choose considerably more expensive methods of road renovation including even reconstruction of the whole pavement structure. It has to be taken into consideration that road sections in poor and very poor condition generate additional expenses for road users and national economy. To improve driving efficiency, safety and comfort the renovation and reconstruction of the current infrastructure is set as the first priority in planning road maintenance and development. According to calculations of the SJSC Latvian State Roads, the minimal financing for state road maintenance and renovation from all possible sources shall be at least 300 million Lats a year to stop further deterioration of the state road network. In 2012, significant changes took place in the field of communication with society. Public was informed about driving conditions, traffic restrictions or disturbances in the state road network. In 2012, LSR homepage was fully renewed both technologically, and structurally. The most significant real-time traffic information (driving conditions in winter, construction sites and data of road monitoring systems) is displayed in an interactive map. It allows road users to access the information for specific driving routes easily. General information State Road Territory of – 64 589 km². Population as at December 31, 2012 – 2 028 400.

State Road Network 5 Map of state roads Road Traffic Information Centre The work of LSR unit – Traffic Information Centre (TIC) – is oriented to support road users by informing the society about driving conditions, traffic restrictions or disturbances in the state road network and to coordinate work of road authorities. traffic TIC performs the following tasks around the clock: it monitors traffic condition by using road monitoring systems, operates the hotline, summarizes and publishes traffic information in specific web pages and media, coordinates cooperation of emergency services for operative elimination of traffic disturbances and processes statistical data for LSR needs. Since 2012 TIC is also responsible for managing the road weather information system. By consistently improving the public recognition of TIC the amount of road user requests on TIC hotline has increased significantly: in 2012 more than 4500 calls were received and it was for 21 % more than in 2011. More and more calls contain constructive messages from drivers related to further actions of road authorities in improving traffic conditions. 2012 Accordingly, fewer callers ask only for information. It means that information about current traffic situation and LSR services is easily accessible to users, including virtual environment. In 2012 modernization of TIC contact centre was Latvian State finished, and it allowed to make significant improvements to hotline service – there is a new phone number with easy combination of digits: +371 80005555, it is free of charge for callers, two operators work simultaneously, etc. Roads Yearbook In 2012, LSR home page www.lvceli.lv was fully renewed both technically and structurally. The most important real-time traffic information (driving conditions in winter, construction sites and data of road monitoring systems) are displayed in an interactive map. It allows users to easily access information for specific driving routes. As a result, a number of visitors to LSR home page has increased significantly. The work is still continuing to show more categories of traffic data on the map, to create maximally automatic map updates and to adjust the home page to be more user-friendly on touch-screen devices. TIC is continuing to distribute traffic information and other notifications in social networks Facebook and Twitter. Popularity of these sites has increased, and the number of direct followers has reached 188 and 2463 respectively. It contributes to distribution of traffic information in the media. In 2012, practise of placing the most important traffic announcements in LSR banners in the most popular news portals in the country continued. Banners also provide a direct link to the LSR home page. Road weather information system, used by TIC, includes 53 road weather stations located by the state main roads. They are equipped with road and atmospheric sensors, as well as, cameras and IT infrastructure that processes station data for further use. To provide more precise information on precipitation and receive data on visibility, additional 9 road weather stations have been equipped with new type of visibility sensors, and now there are 43 such stations. Further development is being planned by focusing on improvement of quality of system data and maximally efficient use by expanding a network of road weather stations, as well as, implementing additional sensors and prediction models. In 2012, road lighting management system Citylight was fully developed and started to work, initially including 80 objects in the state central region. Within the project, special controllers were installed that individually adjusted lighting mode according to sunlight cycle and transferred data to the central system. Experience of using this system for half a year allows to conclude that electricity consumption has decreased by 10 % on average, varied lighting programmes and remote control have been provided and maintenance quality of lighting system has improved. In future, it is planned to connect it to other lighting systems on state roads.

Road traffic 9 Traffic counting Changes in average daily traffic on state main roads The following technical parametres are measured by Parametre Measurement Department of the Road Laboratory of Summarized traffic counting data for 2012 shows that growth of total traffic flow is resuming contrary to decrease in LSR in order to estimate the technical condition of state roads: the previous years. traffic registration; road surface evenness; 7000 road surface rut depth; road surface skid resistance; 6000 road surface bearing capacity; soil penetration measurements and 5000 road visual inspection.

The highest decrease in traffic intensity is observed on road A10 Rīga – Venstpils and it might be related to reconstruction works. Road loading may be also characterised by traffic flow expressed in equivalent 10 tonne axle loads or E10. Traditionally the most loaded roads are the transit roads. The highest increase is observed on road A4 Riga bypass (Baltezers – Saulkalne), but the highest numerical value – on road A7 Riga – Bauska – Lithuanian border (Grenctāle).
