Maybe you're used to a nice wide road with a yellow divider. These roads may be narrow, but perfectly fine.
I drive on roads like this almost weekly here in western Norway and they are not nearly as flat or straight as these are.
How do trucks drive daily on narrow roads like this then? Heard of passing places? Plenty of narrow roads like this around the country with no alternative.
Edit:
They can also easily institute temporary one way for trucks to avoid them meeting other trucks.
6852 and 6854 are not that far apart.
From Todays article in Adressa(paywall); (this is indeed what they concluded, as well as one the truck drivers)
"– Jeg møtte en bil, en storbil, og det var ikke plass til oss begge. Da var det bare én ting å gjøre, jeg la meg ut på kanten, så ga kanten etter og jeg seglet ut, sier sjåføren til Innherreds reporter på stedet.
Den andre sjåføren kjørte videre, sier Stornes. Igjen står han med et lass juice han skulle levere til Trondheim. Det blir noe forsinket nå.
Det er første gang det skjer gjennom 17 års kjøring for samme firma, sier han.
Nå må vegmyndighetene ta grep, og dirigere tungtrafikken nordgående og sørgående til hver sin veg, mener han. Fv. 6818 er for smal til å håndtere møtende tungtrafikk, slår han fast."
Yep, they should have done this immediately tbh. Can't be that hard to limit the nearby county roads to one way traffic for trucks.
6818 is a pretty big detour as well compared to the other two options.
Obviously fv755 on the other side of the fjord has a much better standard, but the ferry crossing Flakk-Rørvik will probably get overloaded with trucks pretty fast.
