Secure parking lot in the Uhrsleben truck stop

Security parking lot , called "Parc Ferme" or "Setpos" (Secure European Truck Parking Operation Services), was an EU pilot project in Europe to build 200 secure truck parking spaces and was funded with € 5.3 million. A total of € 10.9 million was available for the project, where 50 secure parking spaces were to be created along the main transit routes .

Autohof - security parking lot

The first safety car park in Germany was on the truck stop Uhrsleben built of a new standard for secure parking of trucks sat. West of Magdeburg BAB A2 , exit 65, the 52 truck parking spaces with valuable cargo are monitored by guards and 16 cameras, with a 3.20 meter high fence with NATO wire . Every truck in the security parking lot is logged, sealed and registered with digital images.

Experts point to the damage incurred of at least € 8 billion every year and around 90,000 drivers are victims of criminal activities every year. This is mainly due to the few truck parking spaces along the German and European motorways . This had also shown a study by the European Union and therefore a network of high-security car parks is to be created in Europe. The first safety car park in France was the "Truck Etape" near the northern French town of Valenciennes in January 2008, the highway at exit 20 A 2 Brussels-Paris is located. A second safety parking lot has been completed at the truck stop in Wörnitz BAB 7 (Germany). Others are being built in Ashford (Great Britain) and Liège (Belgium).

For a 24-hour break, the Uhrsleben truck stop charges € 25 and for short-term parkers € 3.50 per hour. Some insurance companies offer premium discounts if the secure parking lot is used and the risk of high losses is avoided. The truck drivers can of course use all services from the truck stop, because the driver receives a parking card with which he can open the door to the secure parking lot.

The following companies are also involved: Consulting company - Faber Maunsell , Shell , Daimler , ADAC , Axa , Teleroute , Tank & Rast and the Association of German Truck Stops .

Security parking spaces are also to be built at three border crossings between the EU and Russia, for which the EU is providing an extra 3.5 million euros. EU Transport Commissioner Antonio Tajani said that the working conditions and safety of the truck drivers with their trucks at the Russian border should be improved. The three projects: Vaalimaa in Finland, Narva in Estonia and Terehova in Latvia should be completed by October 15, 2008.
