Sweden has a fairly limited system of motorways (motorväg in Swedish).
With the completion of a couple of new motorway stretches in 2006 - 2015, an interconnecting motorway network exists from Öresund Bridge (to Denmark) to the Swedish- Norwegian border and to Gävle, north of Stockholm.
There are also a number of motortrafikleder (semi-motorways, autostrasse), roads with only 2 or 3 (2+1) lanes but to which the same conditions apply as to motorways (i.e. grade-separated crossings, no slow traffic).
The numbers of these roads belong to secondary categories that do not appear on signs and regular maps: Note that there are more semi-motorways in Sweden, but they have not been considered interesting, since those do not connect to motorways.
Jan Pettersson, Director of Strategic Development at Trafikverket, the Swedish transport administration, said: "We think the electrification solution is the way forward for decarbonising the transport sector and we are working with a number of solutions.
