  • Høring Om Kvitteringslys («Saldolys») Og Skilt I Automatiske Bomstasjoner (AB)
    Statens vegvesen Saksbehandler/telefon: Kristian Wærsted / 91519589 Vår dato: 04.10.2018 Vår referanse: 17/215662 Notat Til: Vegdirektørens styrings- og strategistab Fra: Transportavdelingen Kopi til: Høring om kvitteringslys («saldolys») og skilt i automatiske bomstasjoner (AB) Innhold A. Bakgrunn for høringen og om dette notatet (og litt historikk) s. 1 B. OPPSUMMERING s. 2 C. En oversikt over og kortversjon av svarene s. 3 D. Gjennomgang av de enkelte forslagene i høringen med vurdering av svarene og konklusjoner s. 7 E. Eksempler på ulik fordeling av bomstasjoner i byer s. 26 A. Bakgrunn for høringen og om dette notatet Det pågår en utvidelse av bomsystemene i flere av våre byer i retning av flere bomstasjoner og toveis betaling for å fordele byrdene med bompengebetaling mer rettferdig. I denne forbindelse er det reist spørsmål om det er behov for å utstyre alle bomstasjoner og betalingsretninger med både kvitteringslys («saldolys») og taksttavler (som i byer ofte vil måtte ha variable takstfelt pga tidsdifferensiering av takstene), eller om tiden nå er inne for å forenkle informasjonen til trafikantene i bomstasjoner. Etter en henvendelse fra bomstasjonsprosjektet i Oslopakke 3 valgte Vegdirektoratet å sende spørsmålet om behov for kvitteringslys og skilt i bomstasjoner ut på høring før man reviderte Vegvesenets mal for bruk av kvitteringslys og skilt i automatiske bomstasjoner. Det ble samtidig bestemt at vi skulle ha prøveordninger med fritak for kvitteringslys og taksttavler i NYE bomstasjoner i pågående prosjekter i byer inntil ny mal er vedtatt. Høringsnotatet «Forslag til ny mal for skilting av automatiske bomstasjoner» ble sendt på høring 20.12.2017 med svarfrist 15.02.2018, og det kom inn en rekke svar, både fra eksterne aktører og fra Vegvesenets regioner (se kapittel C, side 3).
