So far in June, 14 have been killed in traffic against seven in the whole of June last year. – I’m upset about these accidents. This is much more than numbers and statistics. It’s about people and destinies. About families and local communities that are affected and affected, says Hovland in the press release. On Monday, the director of roads will take the initiative to gather a number of players in the field of traffic safety for an emergency meeting. – The large Norwegian traffic safety family must now come together in a joint effort. We must break this new trend, says Hovland. So far this year, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s preliminary figures show that 60 have died on Norwegian roads. For the first half of last year – up to and including June – the corresponding figure was 31. The Director of Public Works is aware that the Norwegian Public Roads Administration has a great responsibility to ensure that roads are safe and secure. But she wants help. – We will do our part. But road users’ behavior on the roads is most crucial. Minor adjustments had saved many lives – speed, seat belts and intoxication are the recurring causes. Being a driver is a big responsibility. When you drive a car, it must be the main job, says Hovland.
