Recital 5
(5) A large proportion of road accidents occur on a small proportion of roads where traffic volumes and speeds are high and where there is a wide range of traffic travelling at different speeds. Therefore the limited extension of the scope of Directive 2008/96/EC to all motorways and primary roads beyond the TEN-T network should contribute significantly to the improvement of road infrastructure safety across the Union.

(13) The design and maintenance of road markings and road signs is an important element in ensuring road infrastructure safety, especially in light of the development of vehicles equipped with driver assistance systems or higher levels of automation. In particular, it is necessary to ensure that road markings and signs can be easily and reliably recognised by such vehicles on all roads in Europe.

(16) Since the objective of this Directive, namely the establishment of procedures to ensure a consistently high level of road safety throughout the trans- European network and the network of motorways and primary roads across the Union cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can rather, as improvement is necessary throughout the Union in order to ensure convergence towards higher standards of road infrastructure safety, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. As a result of action at Union level, travel throughout the Union should become safer which in turn should improve the functioning of the internal market and support the objective of economic, social and territorial cohesion.
