The number is thus over 15,000. Curves whose turning radius, slope and speed limitation are so wrong that a motorist has difficulty staying on the road, despite following the traffic rules. And there are many motorists in the countryside who are particularly affected, which has resulted in criticism that the Swedish Transport Administration does not prioritize the roads.
- The zero vision that the Swedish Transport Administration has throughout the country. We must continue to push down the deaths in traffic. That's why we make record investments on the roads, says Infrastructure Minister Tomas Eneroth (S) in Aktuellt.
"Must put warning signs"According to Eneroth, the Swedish Transport Administration is investing its resources on the roads with the most fatal accidents, such as E20. But he does not agree that the authority or government gives priority to the smaller roads.
- You do a thorough work of the entire Swedish road network. A large part where there are faulty curves is in the old road network. Then we have to slow down. It's not always popular with motorists, but that's the way we have to go, says Tomas Eneroth.
He believes that there is a shared responsibility among all drivers to take it easy in the event of deteriorating road conditions. But the main point with the zero vision in traffic is that you build the roads safer too.
- We need to increase our knowledge of where there are faulty curves and also put warning signs, he says.
