Kjørebanebredeganger

Kjørebanebredeganger refers to a specific type of infrastructure found on roads, particularly in Scandinavian countries. It translates directly to "lane width extenders" or "road widening elements." These are not typically full lane additions but rather sections designed to temporarily or permanently increase the width of a traffic lane. Their primary purpose is to improve traffic flow, enhance safety, or accommodate specific types of vehicles or situations.

One common application of kjørebanebredeganger is at intersections or merging points where increased space is beneficial for smoother vehicle maneuvering. They can also be employed on inclines or declines to provide additional room for slower-moving heavy vehicles, preventing them from obstructing faster traffic. In some instances, they are used to create passing zones on two-lane roads, allowing vehicles to overtake safely.

The design and implementation of kjørebanebredeganger vary. They might be constructed as paved extensions, elevated sections, or even marked areas on the existing road surface. The specific material and construction methods depend on factors such as expected traffic volume, load requirements, and environmental considerations. The goal is always to provide a clearly defined and safe area that effectively widens the usable roadway for a specific purpose.
