Økt trafikksikkerhet ved busstopp

Statens vegvesen is upgrading eight bus pockets on Haugalandet, with the aim of enhancing traffic safety as part of their vision for zero fatalities or severe injuries in traffic. The bus stops are located between Haugesund Airport and Aksdal.

Fremdriftsstatus og prosjektbudsjett

Four bus pockets are completed, two are under construction, and two are in the ordering phase. The initiative has a budget of four million NOK, prioritized in cooperation with the local transit company Kolumbus based on traffic volume and passenger numbers.

Universell utforming og tilgjengelighet

The bus pockets incorporate universal design features tailored for the visually impaired and are equipped with tactile paving. For better accessibility, the curbside design uses 'kasselstein' to facilitate easier boarding for wheelchair users and to allow buses to get closer to the pedestrian area. Improvements include additional safety measures for cyclists, pedestrians, and the addition of a longer bus pocket in a high-traffic area to accommodate the influx of students in the morning.
