In 2019, Only One Fatal Road Accident Occurred in Oslo: A Russian Embassy Car Hit a Fence
Despite this, no pedestrians or cyclists were killed in Oslo in 2019.
Aftenposten conducted a study, the results of which showed that no children died on Norwegian roads in 2019.
No fatal accidents involving cyclists or pedestrians were recorded. Over the past decades, the road death rate in Norway has been declining. As far back as 1970, 560 people died in road accidents on Norwegian roads, 101 of them children. In 1985, 482 people died, and in 2019, 110 people died. Meanwhile, in Oslo, 41 people died in road accidents in 1975.
The improvement is believed to have been helped by speed limits in Oslo and the reduction of roads in central districts.
In addition, the quality of road surfaces and the modern equipment of cars have also had a positive effect. In Norway, cycling is becoming more popular every year.
The only fatal road accident in Oslo in 2019 occurred when a car hit a fence and the driver died. The incident took place overnight on June 20. The victim was an employee of the Russian trade mission in Norway. The Russian Embassy confirmed this information and said the accident was caused by poor visibility and bad weather.
