Driving Tips for Sweden
Here are a few driving tips to help you prepare when choosing Sweden car hire:
- Moose and deer crossings: Sweden has many wildlife crossings, especially in rural areas. Be cautious, especially at dawn and dusk, and follow guidelines for animal encounters.
- Bike lanes and pedestrian zones: Sweden prioritises sustainable transportation, so be mindful of designated bike lanes and pedestrian zones, especially in urban areas like Stockholm and Gothenburg.
- Speed limits and traffic signs: Sweden has strict speed limits and traffic rules. Follow signs and limits carefully, as fines can be steep.
- Narrow rural roads: Sweden's rural roads can be narrow and winding. Be cautious when driving on these roads and be prepared to pull over for oncoming cars. Drive slowly and keep your wits about you.
