Separate article needed?

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
