Toilet, trestlework, pavilion will be located near the road on asphalt areas. Their location will depend on the category of the road and its traffic volume. They are provided for each 20 kilometers for the roads of the first category, and each 55 kilometers for the roads of the second category.

More than 100 areas will be equipped along the route depending on the term of delivery of construction projects.

Decision regarding installment of emergency telephone boxes along the routes have been cancelled, as about 80 percent of all the roads in Kazakhstan today are in covering zone of cellular operators.

Today Ministry of Transport and Communications in association with local authorities discuss the matter of involvement of businessmen for construction of snackbars, fuel stations, service stations and so on in these areas. In some regions the commencement of these works has been hampered by remoteness or even absence of communications, However, the Committee for Roads of the Ministry of Transport and Communications continues its joint work with the Ministry of Tourism and Sport, as well as with local Akimats. Thus, if the latter assume a commitment for provision of water and power supply, the Ministry of Tourism lays out areas, provided by the Committee for Roads, for special categories.
