The single corridor will be created by closing the public road traffic on certain road sections and it will be entirely secured by means of security dispositions established by the Protection and Guard Service, the Ministry of the Interior and Administrative Reform (Police, Gendarmerie and Community Police), and the Romanian Intelligence Service.
The movement of the official motorcades on the single corridor will be done according to a schedule and to the priorities established by the National Security Committee for the NATO Summit. Traffic and parking restrictions, as well as restrictions for pedestrians, will be applied, as the basis for recommendations regarding detours, bypasses and other situations.
The official motorcades and the shuttles will travel on the single corridor, in accordance with the security plans which include measures for expediting, directing and restricting road traffic on the routes in the areas of temporary objectives and parking spaces, as well as on the routes that converge into the restricted areas.
No vehicle will move or park on the closed road sections, except ambulances and fire engines whenever deemed necessary.
