Separate article needed?

[edit]

Shouldn't this information be contained in Sweden#Get around rather than in a seperate article? -- (WT-en) Andrew H. (Sapphire) 16:04, 30 November 2006 (EST)

Implicit speed limits or not

[edit]

Driving in Sweden#Speed limits no says "Some signs also indicate the speed limit." and lists them, but goes on saying "... is always posted together with a sign indicating the speed limit".

So isn't it enough to note the speed limit sign instead of memorizing the implied limits? If the two conflict, as I suppose they sometimes do, you have to note the speed limit sign anyway.

I guess better a late answer than no answer at all? The motorway sign not only indicates the max speed limit of 110 km/h, but also indicates that beyond the sign no pedestrians, bicyclists and slow moving motor vehicles are allowed. There is also no stopping or parking allowed on a motorway, no crossing traffic and exit from the motorway must be done in the utmost right lane. On some motorways (the E4 through parts of Småland comes to mind) has a max speed limit of 120 km/h, so the extra speed limit sign always superseeds the green motorway sign. 90.233.216.16 19:05, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Parking and plates

[edit]

It seems the issue with parking apps has been resolved, as the supreme court ruled that not knowing how to type in the numbers is not the driver's fault. I suppose the police has stopped harassing drivers after this (see the linked article – and update to the previously linked one), but I'd like to hear from somebody in the know, as we shouldn't send our readers to legal disputes. –LPfi (talk) 22:15, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

A tractors

[edit]

We currently say that drivers in Sweden should learn how to interact with the A tractors. It would be more useful to say how you should interact with them. What issues are there? I suppose that them driving slower than the general traffic is a risk factor, are there other ones? Anything special you need to do or be aware of when overtaking or in other situations? –LPfi (talk) 09:11, 11 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
