On an experimental basis, the toilets at the Gerje rest stop of the M4 motorway were given a lasting hygienic surface treatment.

The cleaned, dry surfaces received a durable hygienic coating that prevents the formation of so-called biofilms and the growth of microorganisms, thus reducing the risk of surface soiling and contact contamination. The treatment lasts for a year and cannot be removed with chemicals. The substance is not dangerous to health at all.

We will regularly test the effects of the treatment and if the experiment is successful, we will use the technology in more rest stops.

We are responsible for 167 rest stops across the country, the renewal of which started in August last year and has been ongoing ever since. We will completely renovate the buildings and toilets both from the inside and the outside, and we will also clean up their surroundings.

Almost 500 saplings have already been planted across the country, with ¾ of the stops now collecting waste separately and new furniture being installed in the renewed stops.

The toilets are cleaned four times a day by our staff. Please use the restrooms as intended and leave them in the condition you would like to find them next time.
