Ansis Mežulis will point out the representative of the initiative. It is planned to submit the initiative to the Ministry of Transport.
The initiative explains that the section of the Jūrmala highway from the last Babīte transmission line connection to the Jūrmala border is only three kilometers long and the maximum driving speed of 100 km / h would allow obtaining only 12 seconds, compared to the currently allowed speed of 90 km / h.
Mežulis pointed out that when cars enter Jūrmala, braking and rearrangement take place, because some “fast drivers” from the third lane have to drive further along the Ventspils highway or buy a Jūrmala pass, so they have to take the right lane.
“Already these maneuvers cause several accidents during the year. Increasing the maximum speed is expected to increase the number of accidents,” said the author, adding that the Road Safety Directorate will probably try to prevent more accidents by the standard method: speed up the 70 km mark. / h “or stationary photo radar”.
Mežulis believes that increasing the maximum allowed speed will increase driving risks, so he encourages not to increase the driving speed on this section of the road.
