Parents of children at the newly built preschool in Klövsjö, Berg municipality, have raised concerns about safety measures since the preschool opened. They cite issues including a high-traffic road next to the preschool, a low fence, and a lack of warning signs. The parents have requested measures such as a pedestrian and bicycle path and traffic calming on the road, as well as warning signs to slow down traffic.
However, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has declined to take action. Trafikverket stated that the speed limit is well-balanced, visibility is good, and the preschool is fenced off from the road. The agency added that warning signs should only be installed when a danger is hard to detect in time at the current speed, and that too many traffic signs could reduce respect for them.
