The ROADEX Project is a living case study on the benefits of partnering across road districts to make the best use of available budgets. The ROADEX Project partners had an early shared vision of cooperation that has since materialized in great benefits to their respective areas through collaboration in research and development and enhancement of their in-house capabilities by direct access to experience within the other partners' organizations. This sharing of information and experience has enabled them to have cost-effective research programs on shorter time scales than would otherwise have been the case and has avoided "reinventing the wheel" in research and development in each national district. The ROADEX II Project addresses the specific problems that arise in dealing with low-volume road management across the northern periphery of Europe so that reliable and regular year-round road networks can be provided to remote communities there. The outputs delivered in the ROADEX II Project offer a range of sustainable fit-for-purpose solutions to local road problems that together compose a tool kit of solutions for local managers to enable them to give better public service to their areas year after year.
