Long -term remedies are required for biking
Recently, we have been browsed on roads. Opposition and high temperatures in recent days have affected the surface of the country’s weddings, which can become a significant problem for drivers.
Jón Kristján Sigurðsson, editor of the Association of Icelandic Automobile Owners (FÍB), says that the Road Administration seems to be responding quickly, but it is necessary to consider long -term improvements in road construction in Iceland.
The extent of the bleeding is considerable, but the Road Administration is currently warning that biking has been detected in the south of Hvalfjörður, Snæfellsnesvegur at Kaldármela, Borgarfjörður up to Holtavörðaheiði, Brattubrekka, north of Búðardalur, south of the West Fjords, at Víðigerði, at Vatnsdalshóla, on Öxnadalsheiði, on Ólafsfjarðarvegur, The South and at the pot.
Can create a danger
« We now see that the weather has changed rapidly. Warming has been a lot in a short time and in such circumstances, biking is common.
Bakening can occur when the surface of the weathered surface heats a lot on sunny days. In these circumstances, the stones of the garment, which are usually top, can sink into the cup. The cup will therefore be left on the surface of the garment.
« Such a situation can create a great danger to drivers. » says Jón.
Notifications have been received
Asked if FÍB has received reports from members about damage to cars due to biking, Jón says so.
« Yes, we have received tips and calls from members, although they are not necessarily more now than before. This is local and seems to be one of the most important in the West. But this has an impact and we strongly encourage drivers to be careful. »
« Our advice to car owners are to be careful. Then it is best to reduce speed and be careful. »
He also points out that weather forecasts show that the temperature will fall in the coming days, which could reduce the problem temporarily.
Material selection in road construction needs to be reviewed
« Yes, this has been a bit better to be seen lately. When this situation lasts. We need to work hard and see where we can go into permanent solutions, » says Jón when asked if it is time for Iceland as a society to rely on cladding instead of asphalt.
However, he points out that such a situation is not unique to Iceland.
« We also see this in the Nordic countries, where similar situations have emerged. It is not easy to cope with this, but it just further calls for high quality work processes and clear transport policy. »
