Road signs in Sweden

Road signs in Sweden are regulated in the Traffic Sign Ordinance (2007:90) (VMF, Swedish: Vägmärkesförordningen).

Most signs are based on pictograms, with some exceptions like the prohibition-sign for stop at customs and signal and speed limit signs. If the sign includes text, the text is written in Swedish, except the stop sign, which is written in English ("STOP").

Swedish road signs depict people with realistic (as opposed to stylized) silhouettes.

All signs have a reflective layer added on selected parts of the sign as is custom in European countries; most larger signs also have their own illumination.

The typeface used on Swedish road signs is Tratex.
