    Les corridors sont essentiellement de grands axes de transport facilitant la circulation des personnes et des biens entre des régions et entre des pays limitrophes. L’organisation de ces voies est complexe, parce qu’elles sont généralement multimodales et impliquent de multiples passages de frontières.
