Klett (Norway)

Klett is a village in Leinstrand and is a part of the Heimdal borough in Trondheim, Norway. To the north and east it borders to Heimdal and Tiller, to the west to Byneset and to the south and south-west to Melhus. Most of the area surrounding the village is farmland.

Roundabout

To the south of Klett is the Klett intersection, a roundabout where the European routes E6 and E39 meet.

The roundabout was built in 1988. It is the site of the most traffic accidents in the county of Sør-Trøndelag. It was also long famous for being the only roundabout in Norway with yellow road-signs. This was a test by the Norwegian road administration, inspired by Sweden.

The roundabout is scheduled for destruction in 2015, when a new intersection is planned to replace it.[1]
