We propose to simplify the organisation of sporting, cultural or other public events that take place on the road. In the permitting process, road closure studies have to be prepared and paid for, either at national or local level, for such events on the road. The required studies are one of the most expensive and administratively demanding tasks when organising a road event, and it is therefore urgent that something is changed or simplified in this direction. It would be welcome if the prepared studies, which have no changes in the road closure since last year's event, could be automatically used and not have to be re-ordered and paid for again.
