Operations manager John Ask in Sørvest police district informs NTB that the speed limit on the road is mostly between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour. – It is not desirable for people to go on like this. It creates danger for other motorists and themselves, he says. – There is a reason why we have speed limits, so we take this very seriously, he adds.
