In Norwegian traffic rules (Vegtrafikkloven), why do certain Norwegian municipalities (such as Oslo and Bergen) levy a studded tyre fee (piggdekkgebyr)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. To reduce toxic airborne dust (PM10) and wear
- Step 1: Studs grind asphalt into respirable particulate dust (PM10), harming urban respiratory health; cities levy fees to discourage studded tyres in urban centers. Answer: To reduce toxic airborne dust (PM10) and wear. Why not the others: the alternative options do not conform to statutory traffic regulations under the Norwegian Road Traffic Act (Vegtrafikkloven and Trafikkreglene).
