Gridlock waiting – parts of E4 is turned off – Jnytt.se

In several parts of the country, it was difficult to get around in traffic today. To make it easier for motorists and other road users chose the Swedish Transport Administration to shut down the southbound lane on E4 between Gävle and Tunnebro between 12:00 and 21:00. This is to prevent overtaking, In Jönköping there were more vehicles on the roads than usual.

– The most important thing to remember is that you keep a proper distance to the vehicle ahead. Kökrockar is the most common accidents, says Denny Josefsson, the press officer at the Swedish Transport Administration.

The traffic on the E4 through Jonkoping was not affected as much as it did more to the north, from the mountains and down towards Stockholm.

– Many people get stressed and think that they need to overtake. It also poses a risk, so be careful, says Denny.
