CAV S.p.A., with its own corporate functions and by dealing with third-party concessionaires and other road infrastructure managers, manages emergencies that may occur within the motorway areas, sharing operational protocols to ensure a single, coordinated management of emergency situations that may occur.

• Accident management along the Mestre Ring Road (2002)
  The purpose of the document is to determine the response procedures to be implemented if necessary in emergency situations along the A57 Mestre Ring Road, to support a coordinated rescue action. Only through optimal coordination between the various players involved in the emergency can the maximum effectiveness of rescue actions and the reduction of inconvenience endured by users be guaranteed.

• Operational protocol for traffic issues management on the 'Padova-Mestre-Portogruaro' section (2010)
  With a view to improving the service to users, also through the containment of inconveniences caused by motorway emergencies, a protocol has been developed that contains a set of instructions and actions aimed at planning and coordinating the optimal management of traffic flows, both by type of event and by specific road, traffic and environmental conditions. This document was created after the opening of the Mestre Bypass motorway section (“Passante di Mestre”), which allowed for the alternative use of interconnected motorway sections.
