In the course of 2023, over 30,000 speeding tickets were issued to motorists for speeding on school roads. This is shown by a new report from the National Police.
More than 30,000 times in 2023 stalls were given to motorists who cut too fast on school roads.
This is shown by a new settlement that the National Police has handed over to the insurance company Gjensidige.
And it is actually a decrease compared to recent years, although the number of stalls is still high. That development upsets Lene Rasmussen, claims director at Gjensidige.
Instead, the director hoped that the police's campaigns in recent years had had just a slightly greater effect on the behavior of motorists on school roads around the country.

However, it is not only in the number of stalls that drivers' behavior on the roads can be read. In a new survey that YouGov has carried out for Gjensidige, eight out of ten people with school-age children say that they have experienced how drivers create unsafe situations on school roads in particular.
– The police already work very purposefully both with checks and information campaigns, but in the end the responsibility lies with the motorists.
– And therefore I can only encourage the individual to think carefully and respect both the rules and their fellow road users – and especially the most vulnerable of them, says Lene Rasmussen.
