Ideally, there should be at least one recreational area 100 km from the road, but so far this is far from the case, the source writes, citing the international association of carriers Astic.
In Spain, for example, there are 15,000 kilometers of roads, but only 30 safe rest areas – and only 2% of professional drivers are women. The European countries with the highest number of female truck drivers are Italy (7%) and Germany (5%).
