Veiomgangen

Veiomgangen is a Norwegian term that refers to a recurring route or circuit used in relation to road management. The word is formed from vei (road) and omgangen (the round or circuit). In municipal planning and public works, Veiomgangen designates the set of road segments that are subject to periodic inspection and maintenance, often as part of a cyclical program to monitor road conditions, signage, drainage, and safety features. The exact definition and scope vary by municipality and department; some use Veiomgangen to describe a walking or driving audit of the road network, while others use it more narrowly to denote the inspection route for a particular project or budget cycle.

In practice, a Veiomgangen might coordinate activities such as pothole repairs, gritting and winter service planning, sign visibility checks, and assessment of structural elements like culverts or bridges along the route. It can be referenced in procurement documents, maintenance plans, and asset management systems.

Origin and usage: The term reflects Norwegian linguistic roots, combining words for road and round. While it is primarily used in official planning and operations documents, regional terminology and the exact scope of Veiomgangen can differ between municipalities and agencies.
