Norway, despite its vast oil wealth, has been extremely slow to improve its roads and build safer, multi-lane highways. Startling new statistics were unveiled Monday, just after another weekend of deadly head-on collisions on heavily trafficked two-lane highways.
While Sweden has 1,740 kilometers of "Class A" multi-lane highways, Norway has just 281 kilometers. Denmark, meanwhile, can boast 1,024 kilometers and Finland 700 kilometers.
Even poorer countries like Portugal have built 972 kilometers of multi-lane highways in the past six years.
