New venture: Going to battle against the queue after accident

the Speed drops, the traffic is getting closer and it is too late that you should have taken the exit to the right.

The front puts havariblinket to, and you are caught. An unknown number of miles is the queue quietly, and in retrospect can the first blue blink discerned. A vision which in many cases means a considerable increase in travel time.

This is especially true when the accident hit the highway. But the road directorate and the ministry of Transport rates on a new method that should make the wait less.

instead of the first to send for the emergency vehicles, which can be used to remove crashed cars, when it is clear that there is a need for them, should they in the future will be sent along with the rest of the state.

It writes TV2.

The new method has already been tried on the Funen Motorway since the summer, and here has been a success. It tells områdechef at the Danish road directorate Charlotte Vithen.

- What we have found out on the Funen Motorway, is that there is a low hanging fruit in that we send let - and sværvogne out, every time that we have identified accidentally. The wagons must remove vehicles from the roadway, so that we can again get walk in traffic, she says to TV2.

According to the media, the method is especially intended for small and medium-sized accident, but it is not free. The Danish road directorate estimates that it will cost a million dollars a year to send the special carts away with the same.

the additional expenditure, however, to the degree the economy to the good, if you ask the minister for transport mr Ole Birk Olesen (LA).

- The time we waste on hold in the queue on the motorways, and can be used much better - for example, together with the family or at work. Therefore, we must do what we can to ensure that the stand by time will be as short as possible, and this new practice can be a tool for this, so the roads are not blocked unnecessarily long time after the accident, he says to TV2.

According to the Danish road directorate, the new method is to provide a socio-economic gain of between 35 and 70 million dollars.
