    • 1008255 – Stekkjarberg 10 and 12, fencing and reduction of the speed limit

      The matter of the request from the residents' association of Stekkjarberg 10 and 12 regarding the speed of traffic on Hlíðarberg was taken up again. Speed measurements carried out on Hlíðarberg on 28 and 30 September, at Stekkjarberg, were presented. The highest speed measured was 52 km/h northbound and 63 km/h southbound, with an average speed of 31.2 km/h northbound and 39.7 km/h southbound. Hlíðarberg is a 50 km/h road.

      As Hlíðarberg is a main thoroughfare in the neighbourhood, it is not possible to agree to a reduction in the speed limit. UHU proposes that the speed hump at Stekkjarberg be reviewed with regard to its effectiveness.

  • 1008242 – Linnetsstígur and part of Hverfisgata, fast-flowing traffic

    Email from Stefán Þ. Ingimarsson regarding the speed of traffic in the street was taken up again. Speed measurements were presented. 20th, 21st and 22nd September last. The highest speed up Linnetsstig opposite Austurgata was measured at 47 km/h and 50 km/h down Linnetsstig. The average speed up Linnetsstig was 20.2 km/h and down 23.7 km/h. Speeds were measured on Hverfisgata at Linnetsstígur, where the highest speed was 37 km/h and the average speed was 21.6 km/h. Hverfisgata and Linnetsstígur are 30 km/h roads.

    UHU has tasked the Environment and Design Department with reviewing the layout of the junction of Linnets Stígur and Hverfisgata. Speed measurements do not indicate that it is necessary to install a speed hump at this stage.
