ROADS FOR TOURISTS

Road is the most important mode for recreational travel; improving the quality of travel along tourist roads can make a significant contribution to the recreational experience. Specific topics discussed in the paper are the revision of the quality of service concept to take better account of subjective factors, more adequate provision and better sign posting of rest areas, upgraded safety signing on tourist routes and possible problems resulting from unfamiliarity with rental cars.
