For about a year now, Södertälje municipality has removed 20 pedestrian crossings.
Approximately 20 road bumps or "aggressive ramps" of seven centimeters have also been built, as the municipality's traffic engineer Harald Östlund calls it:
- It has been at a considerable cost.
From SEK 300,000 to upwards of SEK 1 million, depending on what it looks like on the ground.
The background is the long-term zero vision which means that no one should be killed or injured in traffic.
In 2014, four people died at pedestrian crossings in Södertälje.
The work of removing certain pedestrian crossings in Södertälje expires this year.
