Kjøretøyfeltet

Kjøretøyfeltet, also known as the vehicle field, is a critical component of road infrastructure designed to accommodate the movement of vehicles. It is typically the central portion of a road, separated from the sidewalk or footpath by a curb or edge line. The width of the kjøretøyfeltet varies depending on the type of road and its intended use. On major highways and expressways, it can be as wide as 3.75 meters or more, while on local roads, it may be narrower, around 3.0 meters.

The primary function of the kjøretøyfeltet is to provide a safe and efficient space for vehicles to travel. It is designed to accommodate various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles. The surface of the kjøretøyfeltet is usually made of asphalt or concrete, which provides a smooth and durable surface for vehicle travel.

In addition to its primary function, the kjøretøyfeltet also plays a role in road safety. It is often marked with lane lines and other road markings to guide drivers and separate traffic in different directions. The kjøretøyfeltet may also include features such as rumble strips or guardrails to prevent vehicles from straying off the road.

The design and maintenance of the kjøretøyfeltet are essential for ensuring the smooth flow of traffic and the safety of road users. Regular inspections and repairs are necessary to address any damage or wear and tear, and to ensure that the surface remains smooth and safe for vehicle travel. In some cases, the kjøretøyfeltet may be widened or modified to accommodate changes in traffic patterns or to improve road safety.
