Organization of road, vehicle and driver databases

The State organizes three main data systems: roads, vehicles, and drivers. These databases are fully digital and are essential for ensuring road safety and providing authorities with complete and updated information.

The national road archive contains data on all roads, categorized accordingly. For each road, technical and legal information is recorded, along with traffic levels, accidents, and accessibility conditions. These data are provided by road authorities such as ANAS, regions, and highway concessionaires.

The national vehicle archive includes all vehicle-related information. For each vehicle, it records technical specifications, registration details, ownership changes, modifications, and involvement in accidents. This system is fully digital and updated by multiple sources, including transport authorities, police, and insurance companies.

People with a legitimate interest can request official certificates related to vehicle data, subject to payment.

The national register of licensed drivers contains all information about drivers, including license issuance, renewals, suspensions, revocations, violations, accidents, and penalty points.

This system is also digital and updated by authorities such as prefectures, police, and insurance companies.

The technical rules for operation, access, and updates of these systems are defined by specific regulations.

This structure allows the State to effectively monitor the entire traffic system, improving safety and enforcement.
