Speed Limit

Speed regulations are the principles that determine how speed is regulated on Swedish roads.

There are five different regulations that regulate speed:

  1. Legislated maximum speeds.
  2. Speed limits announced via prohibitory signs.
  3. Basic rules.
  4. Places where drivers must keep a sufficiently low speed considering the circumstances. This applies, for example, when you pass roadworks.
  5. Speed limits controlled by certain vehicles or vehicle combinations.
