As you'd have driven past a "No motor vehicles" sign before it, they would most likely charge you with that offence as a simple "got to" as it's so easy to prove. current fine for that is 8200NOK, so around £600gbp, $767 USD They can alsu use "Paragraph 3" for careless driving (Driving without due consideration) which would also give points towards a ban, or with the possibility of an on the spot ban for probably 3 months.

@@stuinNorway Thanks for the details! Makes sense. Probably have to pay the tow company too. I wonder how often it happens. With the damage to the car, and the fines, that is not an inexpensive "mistake"!

@@joeybagodonuts6683 Happens occasionally, but not often, don't know of any cases in that one, there are a couple across the other side of stavanger that i have seen in the paper when (usually small pizza delivery cars) someone gets stuck.

At a vehicle travelling at 30-40km/h down that, there is NO WAY I should be on the sideWALK, and the hint why is in the name.

LOL, yeah, mainainance vehicle. Probably collecting the 3 hire e-scooters that had sat along that stretch for a week, presumably out of charge.

I know exactly what it is, they're never installed here on roads with more than a 40km/h limit, so if you manage to cause "more death" the issue is not the car trap, it's the crap driving.

Couple of points, as I said, it's not finished yet, there's still a big chunk in the middle missing, should open next month. Where I swing left at the top of the hill you can see the tunnel-mouth off to my right that will carry the final stretch when it's finished in about 2 yrs time, cuting off quite a climb and lots of back and forth routes. Is it the same density of use as a major city centre would see ? No, but then that was never expected. The 2nd section in the cideo where I rejoin the main route after the missing gap, when the segment over the 2 bridges and up the hill opened last year, the usage of that section pretty much doubled overnight. I was also heading off well before the main rush hour began, an hour later it would be a lot busier.

What's fake ?

It is, all the better because that bit ends 200m from my work 😁

Just get a bigger wider vehicle

Honestly if you had a vehicle wide enough to bypass that trap you better have a commercial drivers lisence

Ford Raptor finally has a real purpose @@Padoinky

@@Padoinky wheel spacers lol

North American HD single rear wheel pickup trucks and full-size vans (e.g. Ford Transit) are at the maximum width for normal vehicles (80 inches). Dual rear wheel pickups are at the traditional legal limit for Interstate highways (96 inches). So here, you'd only stop cars.

I wouldn't test it Its wider than it looks Also nobody would have to test it if people were sensible lol

LOL, yep probably. Fortunately "most" drivers here manage to look through the window ahead of them "most of the time".... I believe of the last 4 cases of these catching a car in this area, 2 were Toyota Yaris' pizza delivery vans.

@@stuinNorway shameful! XD those are rookie numbers

Apparently the one in Cambridgeshire has caught a few motors.😮

Sounds like someone used to like driving their car down a bus lane... The whole point of modal filters like this is to stop people doing it in the first place, its clearly visible and the delays caused by idiots driving their cars into the trap will be significantly less than the delays caused by cars using the bus lanes

LOL, That's a short hill, was fun for a burst to keep up with him. It's unfortunately a major issue here, over half the food delivery bikes I see in the evenings are without lights. I always thought the "StuInNorway" was farily clear myself. 😁

They do, same week as the UK, so we're always an hour out from there. Makes it easier remembering when arranging to talk to family.

It seems like the piece of shit tactic is trying to illegally drive down a street that's not meant for cars

Fuck cars.

Install a widebody kit and fat tires you say.

@@connormauk3210 "illegally drive down a street that's not meant for cars" I suspect it wasn't always so. People familiar with driving this way suddenly encounter a trap. Also, GPS might route someone down this way. And as others point out, what is the bus to do while a car is stuck in the trap? Now the bus is also trapped.

GPS is not an excuse for ignoring several signs and a deep pit in the road. @@thomasmaughan4798

Now if they done repairs at super sonic speed?

That is one of those new electric bikes

Road is open to busses, but is not open for through traffic to other traffic. Takes a few trips to feel comfortable to ride over it at 30km/h

I think it's for a quick oil change.

@@pitviper7924 damn now i want to drive to that place and do an oil change and just lie there and do an oil change on cars driving by lol

😆😀😀😀

​@@pitviper7924or change of underwear if you don't know if it is there?

It is. Once finished it will be a 15km route from Stavanger, through the main industry/commercial area to the next town Sandnes, Currently about 6km are ready, a short piece at Stavanger, then a 2.5km gap (still an OK route, quiet but not ideal) to this bit, the final 6km to Sandnes due to open next spring.

Having driven in London on holiday a week or so back, it's so different. I so do NOT miss London traffic, and cycling in it. I prefer my 15km Stavanger-Sandnes commute (when I can ride it) to the 16km I had from NE to NW London for a while

80km/h (Not actual speed on film)

Indeed. The counter was showing around 1200 each day last week, but the increase in numbers is visible even when driving past. Of course if you read the comments on the local paper "NO ONE" uis using it ;)

It's the "Here's a dropped kerb to let you access the bike lane" . . . but we'll leave a big hole behind it so you can't while they get the politicians out to declare it open that really gets me. At least the Sykkel Stamvei is of a good standard... shame we don't get our tunnel on Wednesday when the next bit opens.

Relatively little snow here, but that section goes through a former swamp area, so in winter is pretty icy if it's cold, but this is designated as a priority route so should be snow and ice clear for 6am. It's pretty well used all year, even though it's still only a short section until the next bit opens in a few short months.

That part of town is called "Storhaug literal translation "Big heap", so yes our side of town is hilly. Pretty much impossible to go out without going over the hill, or taking a long detour to avoid the worst of it.

Sorry, my bad . . I'll try to misbehave next time... In the meantime maybe this was the clip you really wanted to see. kzbin.info/www/bejne/imW1o4Z-l9mMqM0

Any GoPro for footage (or similar), A GPS based bike computer (mine's an older Garmin Edge 510). Data is overlayed in Garmin Virb Edit after the ride. Pick a known spot in footage, and drap the marked to match to synchronise the GPS data)

@@stuinNorway ok thanks

I guess you're also here from the tweet 😂

@@BSLS123 oh hey! Me too!

@@BSLS123 yup

It is in order to visually break up the drive through the tunnel a bit, to avoid drivers getting too distracted by boredom (this is an actual problem in tunnels this long, 20 min is quite long to not get distracted by boredom)

@@BSLS123 yes me too 😄

Most people passing there do.... I have quite a large selection of photos from there.
