A new format
Routes/Roads, PIARC's quarterly magazine, has been published since the Association's origins in 1909. It has undergone many changes in its form, its editorial languages, and now its mode of distribution: since March 2021, the magazine is published mainly in electronic format, PDF or HTML. Only the readers who have explicitly expressed their wish to receive a paper version in a questionnaire sent out several times in 2020 by the General Secretariat will continue to do so.
