SECTIONS OF TRAFFIC INFRASTRUCTURES INCLUDING MULTIPURPOSE STRUCTURES
First Claim
1. Multipurpose structure (10) installed in a section (b1) of length (h) of a traffic infrastructure (A), comprising at least two side elements (1a, 1b, . . . ) disposed successively in at least a sideway (a1, a2) and/or a circulation dividing area (a3, . . . ) along the longitudinal direction (x) of said TI (A), and respective means for installing said side elements (1a, 1b, . . . ), characterizedin that at least some of said side elements (1a, . . . ) carry at least one lighting array (30a), andin that at least some of said side elements (1b, . . . ) directly or indirectly, individually or collectively support and/or suspend and/or tension at least one top element (2a, . . . ) adding to a total width (b), at a height (a) above said TI (A), andin that said, at least one, top element (2a, . . . ) directly or indirectly supports and/or suspends, and/or integrates, and/or is itself at least one PV array (50a, . . . ), andin that at least two consecutive said side elements (1a, 1b, . . . ), or two consecutive respective side elements (1a, 1a′
- , . . . ) are disposed at a relatively close distance (c) from each other, as measured along a respective sideway (a1, a2) and/or circulation dividing area (a3) of said TI (A).

Abstract
The present invention discloses sections of highway traffic infrastructures, including multipurpose structures, for best combining renewable energy and traffic assistance systems along the highway. According to a first innovative aspect, the distribution of structures accounts for aspects such as driving comfort, (urban) landscape integration and adjustment to energy demand and traffic circulation conditions. According to a complimentary innovative aspect, ample elevated constructions, as required by solar and wind energy systems, combine with certain dimensional dispositions, as required by different traffic assistance means, in view of enhanced energy distribution and traffic safety.
