terminals in the immediate vicinity of Milan including, by way of example only, Segrate and Busto Arsizio/Gallarate. For further information see www.transport.regione.lombardia.it and www.cargo.trenitalia.it/.

Passenger transport: a nationwide system of high speed trains gives journey times of (for example) Milan-Rome in less than three hours, Milan-Bologna in one hour and Milan-Turin in 40 minutes. As well as these high speed services there are long-distance national and regional rail routes throughout Italy.

For further information see http://www.trenitalia.com.

4.1.5 General information

The transport networks in the metropolitan area of Milan are particularly subject to rush-hour traffic entering and leaving the City. It is therefore strongly advisable to take account of this and avoid using road transport during weekday peak hours.

Each Participant must take appropriate measures to limit the impact of their activities on the public roads, always taking due account of the fact that the many parties involved in the works for Expo Milano 2015 will all be using the same transport infrastructure at the same time.

40 | ACCESSIBILITY

So far as transporting people is concerned, the Organiser would advise each Participant to use public transport (rail and metro) and organise shuttle services to/and from their own Lot (see paragraph 4.2 Access to the Expo Construction Site).

So far as goods transport is concerned, the Organiser would suggest that the use of road transport should be minimised. Appropriate measures must also be put in place to guarantee the integrity and cleanliness of the public roads (e.g. dust, scattered material, etc.).

In relation to the correct use of the public roads in the vicinity of the site, the Organiser reserves the right to suggest prescriptions or provisions, which all Participants must obey, and which may be issued in response to recommendations by the Authorities or road management Agencies.

It should be noted that as part of the preparations for Expo Milano 2015, modernisation and extension road works are planned in the area. These works (entailing closures, lane reductions, width reductions, etc.) may limit use of the roads leading to the Expo Construction Site and may consequently cause an increase of traffic on the roads affected.

Via the PDMS the Organiser will provide the Participant with a plan of the Exhibition Site, giving information about the roads in the vicinity of the Expo Construction Site.

The Organiser will also make information available on the PDMS in relation to traffic conditions on the motorways, the Milan ring road, and the regional roads. However it will be up to the Participants to acquire updated traffic information and take it into account when managing their own transport to and from the Expo Construction Site.

For abnormal loads or for transporting hazardous substances to the Expo Construction Site in ways that comply with current legislation, the Participant must liaise autonomously with the Authorities and the public road Agencies.

The Organiser gives notice that under current Italian Law, abnormal loads are considered to be vehicles whose road configuration, due to specific functional requirements, exceeds the profile or weight limits set out in Articles 61 and 62 of the Italian traffic Law (“Codice della Strada”).
