A huge increase in traffic on the Reykjanesbraut is causing a high risk of accidents and long queues of cars form during peak times. The junctions and roundabouts on the section from Kaplakriki to L\u00e6kjargata have the highest accident rate in the capital region, and numerous serious accidents have also occurred on the straight section of the Reykjanesbraut from the cemetery south of Straumsv\u00edk. A demand is being made on the authorities to ensure road safety on the Reykjanesbraut and for residents to be able to get to and from their homes in a reasonable manner, without having to put themselves in grave danger on a daily basis. Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur residents also welcome the construction of a roundabout at the junction of Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edkurvegur and the Reykjanesbraut, which should be the first step towards improving transport within the town.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Agenda:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;Quote \u2013 Haraldur L.
