. The people of Norway believe that they are sufficient.
As many as 64 percent believe the speed limit is being used appropriately. By contrast, 8 percent believe it should be lower on many roads. However, 72 percent do not want speed limits to be raised. 25 percent believe speed limits should be higher on many roads. We present a survey conducted by Kantar on behalf of Trygg Trafikk.
– This shows that most people think that driving on Norwegian roads is safe. There is a clear link between speed and accidents. We're glad that most people see this, says Bård Morten Johansen, senior advisor at Trygg Trafikk.
Fewer people want higher speed limits than last year
Compared to a survey conducted by Trygg Trafikk last year. It turns out that fewer people want higher speed limits this year than last year. Last year, 37 percent said they wanted higher speed limits, compared to just 25 percent this year.
– That's the majority Norwegians are satisfied with the restrictions we have on the roads, should also send a clear signal to the authorities when increased speed limits are discussed. Most people accept this and we should listen to it, he continues.
. Most men want more speed
Men are significantly underestimated in accident statistics, but they are most eager to increase speed limits. 32 percent of men want increased speed limits Norwegian roads, while among women it is only 18 percent. The age group in which most people want higher speeds is between 45 and 59 years old - as many as 32 percent.
– . It's a bit worrying that so many men and so many middle-aged people want higher speed limits, concludes Bård Morten Johansen.
