The police stop and inspect vehicles and dri- vers along roads throughout Norway. The police focus closely on checking adherence to speed limits, driving under the influence of alcohol and safe driving.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration
conducts inspections at the roadside and
at inspection sites all over Norway. At these inspection stations, they use road signs to direct vehicles such as lorries, tractor-trailer combinations and buses away from the main road and towards the inspection site.
The Customs and Excise Authority is most active at border crossings into Norway, but the Customs and Excise Authority can also inspect vehicles and drivers at the roadside.
The Labour Inspection Authority conducts inspections together with the other agencies, focusing on employment and wage conditions.
The Norwegian inspection authorities wear uniforms (the Labour Inspection Authority does not) and carry ID!
