Swedish national road


National roads in Sweden have road numbers from 1 through 99. The national roads are usually of high quality and sometimes pass through several counties. Roads with lower numbers are in southern Sweden, and roads with higher numbers are in northern Sweden. There are many cases where two or more routes in this system share the same physical road for a considerable distance, giving the country several kilometers of double-numbered road.
The network of national roads covers all of Sweden. In 2015, the total length of all national roads was. The only county that does not have a riksväg is Gotland County. The national roads are public roads owned by the Government of Sweden and administered by the Swedish Transport Administration. They get a high priority for snow plowing during the winter.
The roads' number signs are rectangular with a blue background, white numbers, and a white border.
