As well as other European countries willing to reduce road insecurity andconvinced that greater observance of speed limits is a condition for drastically reducing the number of fatalities, the French Ministry in charge of Transport launched the BALI project to demonstrate, at county scale, theadvantage and reliability of a system for collecting and disseminating speed limit data. Such devices as intelligent speed adapters are marketed ata European scale and need European solutions for feeding reliable information into them. Therefore, the BALI project has to take these solutions into consideration and is thus one of the test sites of the ROSATTE project.New initiatives issued by the ministry and carrying on with BALI should follow soon and the European ITS action plan may boost the next realizations.
