Bus Station
The sign indicates the direction to the bus station
When You See This Sign
When you see the G7 sign, you know a bus station is located in the indicated direction. Follow the arrow if you are looking for the bus station and be prepared for increased bus and pedestrian traffic and possible lane changes as you approach.
Rules & Regulations
- G7 is a location sign that only provides information about the direction to a bus station and is not a prohibition or a mandatory instruction.
- The sign does not impose any duty to give way or grant any special right of way - follow applicable road signs and traffic rules at the location.
- The signposting may be supplemented with a distance indication or an arrow showing the exact direction; follow the arrow to find the bus station.
- Any stopping, loading, or parking rules at the bus station itself are governed by separate signs and local regulations, not by the G7 sign.
Tips for Drivers
- Reduce your speed slightly and be alert for buses changing direction or entering/exiting the bus station when following the sign.
- Use the arrow's direction to plan your route early - lanes or exits often lead toward the bus station.
- Watch for pedestrians heading toward the bus station, especially at crossings and entrances indicated by the signage.
- Avoid stopping or parking where buses need to maneuver; look for designated parking spaces or loading zones upon arrival.
Common Mistakes
- Believing that G7 means only buses may use the road - the sign only shows the direction to a bus station.
- Confusing the bus station sign with a repeated no-stopping or no-parking sign - such rules are shown on separate signs.
- Assuming the sign automatically indicates where you may stop for boarding or alighting; local instructions and markings at the site determine that.

Did You Know?
G7 belongs to the location signs (category G) in the Swedish road sign register and is often used to direct road users to larger travel centers or bus terminals in urban areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the sign mean that only buses may drive there?
No. G7 only shows the direction to a bus station. If a road is intended for buses only, it must be indicated with a separate prohibition sign or a bus lane sign.
May I stop to let passengers off at a bus station the sign points to?
That depends on local signs and rules at the bus station. G7 itself does not grant the right to stop or park; follow local stopping and parking regulations at the site.
Does the sign show how far it is to the bus station?
Not always. The sign can be supplemented with a distance indication or repeated along the route, but G7 itself primarily indicates direction. Watch for additional plates that show distance.
