Argentina: First Road Safety Forum

Autopistas del Oeste and Autopistas del Sol – the two operators of our Group in Argentina – organised the Road Safety Forum for the first time in 2018.


The forum discussed the challenges of road safety and the opportunities arising from the public-private partnership to reduce the accident rate. The event was attended by over 200 people, including different national and international experts and key representatives from the Public Authorities. 

The two companies launch as new sensitisation campaign, as they do every year, this time with the message Respeta tu carril (Stay in your lane). This raised awareness among toll road users on using the right-hand lane only to overtake, the need for heavy vehicles to remain on the right and for motorbikes to also take up just one lane. The campaign reached over 1,000,000 people thanks to the signs installed at strategic points on toll roads and the 100,000-plus information leaflets handed out at different toll booths in November. The message was resonant among youngsters, with talks being given on road safety to 12-year-old students in different schools. 

Unfortunately, both operators had to launch the Dog campaign again for another year to raise awareness among users and locals on the responsibility of looking after their pets and not abandoning them. 

The Abertis Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Plan establishes the involvement of the Group in the communities where it carries out its business.

The exhibition Miró: la experiencia de mirar” (Miró: the experience of looking)was held at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires (Argentina) from 25th November 2017 to 25th February 2018.

In the previous summary we indicated that the artist Joan Miró maintained a close link with the avant-garde scene in Paris from his youth until a ripe old age. The exhibition sponsored by Abertis at the Grand Palais enabled the Catalan painter to return to the French capital. 

In February 1917, Europe was immersed in the 1st World War. Pablo Picasso was 36 years old then, but was already a great artist who had started the Cubism revolution.
