On Thursday afternoon, the Norwegian Public Highway Administration carried out a regular traffic control at the Juvikflaten in Askøy.
Ten drivers had written deficiencies for minor defects and tire defects, and one motorist had a fee to drive on poor tires.
– It was a little small, as it usually is, says Inspector Knut Sylta.
But the biggest “trap” caused Sylta and her colleague to get out of control again.
– A little easy for a simple solution
From the county road that crosses the southern parts of the township, Sylta and her colleague saw a mobile crane swaying in one neighborhood.
The mobile crane had moved away from the main road and backed about 100 meters down a side road to erect a new building.
It turned out to be an expensive affair.
– I am a little obsessed with this problem. It is easy to “touch the net” and take a side and think that you are looking for a simple solution. But then an exemption should be sought, says Sylta.

Not designed for heavy traffic
There are regulations governing the heavy heavy vehicles that our various vegans can drive.
The Highway Administration required that large and heavy vehicles must apply for a license or exemption to drive on roads that are of a different use class than that judged by county and national highways.
– Many of these vegans are not classified so that heavy vehicles can travel in them. Vegans may have pipes or a weaker base, which means that one should consider using it through an app, says Sylta.
In this case, the mobile crane was legally driving on the main road, but when the driver turned off on the municipal side road, the road changed the usage class from bk10 to bk8.
Therefore, a license should have been requested.
– I don’t drive and hunt, but you are obsessed with this problem. In this case, the crane saw me off the road, Sylta explains.
Almost a thousand crowns per fine meter
The legal weight for the relevant mobile crane on the highway in the neighborhood is 24 tons. But the crane caught in the peach had 13.9 tons of overhead.
No exemption was granted from either the Municipality of Askøy or the Norwegian Public Highway Administration.
The result of the inspection was therefore an overcharge fee of NOK 79,800.
It gives just under a thousand dollars in fines per meter traveled on the side road.
– Rates in this size are not very common, says Sylta.
Large heavy vehicles load the road network more than ordinary vehicles. In the worst case, unclear driving can cause damage to foundations, water pipes, or the like.
– Rates were adjusted several years ago. It is important that the consequences can be large and the rate will reflect maintenance and investment costs.
No comment
– There are large conversation sums, so there is obviously despair for companies. But it’s worth having these things in order, says Sylta, adding:
– In this case, the driver had sadly received the exemption that he demanded under certain conditions.
The daily tenants of the company in question do not wish to discuss the matter with NRK.
The Highway Administration emphasizes that they track special requirements for heavy vehicles.
– If I see that the mobile cranes lurking in trouble have gotten to where they are, take a sample.
