nationalvägar

Nationalvägar are a category of roads in Sweden. They are managed by Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Administration. These roads are part of the national road network and are designed for traffic that travels longer distances. Nationalvägar are often important arteries connecting major cities and regions within Sweden. They are distinct from the European routes that also traverse the country, though some nationalvägar may overlap with or connect to European routes. The designation "nationalväg" implies a certain standard of construction and maintenance, aiming to ensure safe and efficient travel. The network is crucial for both passenger and freight transport, facilitating economic activity and connectivity. Trafikverket is responsible for planning, building, and maintaining these roads, including aspects like traffic management and road safety. The classification helps in prioritizing investment and maintenance efforts across the country's road infrastructure.
