bindningssteg

Bundlokk is a type of intersection on Norwegian roads, characterized by two or more roads coming together in a single point. This type of intersection is also known as a round limiting point, or seitrestrengsknutepunkt in Norwegian.

The bundlokk is designed to provide a safe and controlled environment for drivers to merge and enter the flow of traffic on the main road. The intersection has a curved or arched shape, with the entering road curving away from the center and merging with the main road.

In Norway, bundlokks are commonly found at intersections of national roads (Statsvei) or main county roads with smaller roads. The design and construction of a bundlokk take into account factors such as traffic volumes, speed limits, and the geometry of the roads involved.

Bundlokks typically consist of a gentle curve for the entering road, followed by a gradual widening of the intersection as the two roads merge. This approach aims to reduce conflicts between drivers, particularly when merging and changing lanes.

This type of intersection is favored over traditional intersections with traffic lights or stop signs due to its design, which naturally slows down traffic on the entering road, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. Additionally, bundlokks allow for a more fluent flow of traffic and reduce the need for infrastructure, such as traffic lights or crash barriers. As such, bundlokks are considered an integral part of Norway's road infrastructure and a safer option for drivers.
