AGROUP of experts of the Economic Commission for Europe's road transport sub-committee is meeting this month to discuss ways of taking full advantage of containerization.
The wider use of seaborne containers is raising technical, customs, commercial and administrative problems for inland transport operators, says ECE, and they want to see how the path can be smoothed for those responsible for the land c. and d.
The transport sub-committee has begun a Cudy of international road signs to provide suggested improvements on the 1949 convention (there is to be a world conference art signs in 1967), and has also been studying working conditions for professional drivers. It has had to concede that the 1962 agreement on regulating working hours for drivers in international transport still cannot be brought into force because not enough countries are prepared to ratify it.
