Entrance Parking
The sign indicates the direction to entrance parking
When You See This Sign
When you see the sign, follow the indicated direction to reach the park-and-ride. Prepare to reduce speed and turn into the marked parking facility, and follow the local parking regulations in force there.
Rules & Regulations
- The sign (F29) indicates the direction to a park-and-ride facility and shows where the parking area is located; it does not mean you may park along the road.
- The sign's instruction does not replace other traffic or parking regulations; always obey local parking signs, fees, and time restrictions on site.
- Parking is only allowed within the designated parking bays or the park-and-ride area and according to the conditions that apply there (times, fees, vehicle types).
- The sign does not grant priority in traffic. Follow right-of-way rules and other traffic signs when driving toward the park-and-ride.
Tips for Drivers
- Reduce speed in good time and signal when preparing to turn off toward the park-and-ride; look for arrows or additional plates that show distance.
- Read the additional signs at the park-and-ride before leaving your car — they often indicate if there is a fee, time limits, or special rules (e.g. commuters only).
- Be aware of pedestrians and cyclists moving between the parking area and public transport; pay extra attention at pedestrian and cycle crossings.
- Use the park-and-ride as planned when transferring to public transport — check timetables and tickets so you are not away from your vehicle longer than allowed.
Common Mistakes
- Believing the sign means parking is free — the sign only shows direction; fees and rules may apply.
- Confusing the direction sign with a parking 'P' sign and assuming you may park anywhere on the site without regard to marked bays or time limits.
- Assuming the sign grants priority or special traffic rules for turning into the parking — ordinary right-of-way and traffic rules apply.

Exam Tip
On the theory test a common trap is to interpret the sign as permission to park on the hard shoulder — remember that F29 only shows the direction to a designated parking area and does not change parking rules. Be prepared for questions about what supplementary plates (distance, times, fees) mean.
Did You Know?
F29 is a location sign often placed along motorways or major approaches near commuter rail, bus, or subway stations to facilitate commuting by combining car and public transport. Signposting is used in Sweden to help reduce inner-city congestion by encouraging park-and-ride.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the sign mean I can park directly at the roadside where the sign is mounted?
No. The sign only indicates the direction to the park-and-ride. Park only in the designated parking bays or areas and in accordance with the local rules at the parking site.
Is a park-and-ride only for commuters?
Park-and-ride is primarily intended for commuters who want to transfer to public transport, but who may use the facility varies. Check signs and any restrictions at the site.
Is parking at a park-and-ride always free?
Not necessarily. Some park-and-ride facilities charge fees or have time limits. Check the information boards and payment machines at the parking area.
Can I leave my car overnight at a park-and-ride?
It depends on local rules. Some facilities allow long-term parking while others have maximum stay limits or prohibit overnight parking, so check the specific signs at the parking site.
