Gunnar Selberg believes that there are technical solutions that can regulate the speed limit depending on the weather, whether it is raining or snowing.
Or to simply have different speed limits depending on the season, for example higher speed in summer and lower in winter.
- I think it is strange that it has not been introduced long ago, the technology already exists, says Gunnar Selberg (C) municipal councilor in Kiruna.
Has been tested in Finland
There are already similar projects and test routes in Sweden and in several other countries, including Finland and the United Kingdom.
Traffic is measured through sensors on the roadway and weather stations and the digital road signs are remotely controlled and can be changed according to traffic conditions.
- In the long term, I think that the Swedish Transport Administration works right, you should have these 2 + 1 roads with a center railing.
But it is so far in time and then I think that flexible speeds are a solution in the meantime, says Gunnar Selberg.
