Riksettan

The route is part of the classic national road Riksväg 1 and goes parallel with the E4 and the river Lagan.

The route is primarily intended for tourists as a more scenic and cultural alternative to the highway.

It is possible for additional municipalities along the old Riksväg 1 to join Riksettan and thus have it extended.

[1] Riksettan is portmanteau and was originally the colloquial term for Riksväg 1.

The second part, -ettan, derives from the definite form of "Ett", the Swedish word for the number "One".
