Trafikkråd

Trafikkråd is a Swedish term that translates to "traffic council" or "traffic board." It refers to a body or committee responsible for advising on or managing traffic-related matters within a specific municipality or region. The composition and exact responsibilities of a trafikkråd can vary, but generally, it involves representatives from local government, relevant authorities such as the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) or the Swedish Road Administration (Trafikverket), and sometimes community or interest groups.

The primary function of a trafikkråd is to provide expert advice and recommendations on issues concerning traffic safety, infrastructure development, public transport, pedestrian and cycling facilities, and overall traffic flow. They may be involved in planning new roads, evaluating traffic calming measures, assessing the impact of development projects on the transport network, or developing strategies to improve road safety. The trafikkråd acts as a consultative body, helping to ensure that traffic-related decisions are well-informed and consider the needs of various stakeholders and the community. In some cases, a trafikkråd might also have a role in coordinating activities between different agencies involved in traffic management.
