Attraction
The sign indicates the direction to an attraction
When You See This Sign
When you see the 'Attraction' sign, understand that it is an informational sign indicating the direction to a tourist destination. If you plan to visit the site, plan lane changes and turns well in advance and follow any supplementary plates showing distance or arrows. If you are not going there, pass by without making sudden changes to your driving.
Rules & Regulations
- The attraction sign is an informational sign and does not impose any traffic rules or change rights concerning driving direction, speed, or right of way.
- The sign indicates the direction to a specified attraction and may be supplemented with arrows or distance information on additional plates.
- The placement of the sign is determined by the Swedish Transport Administration or the municipality; follow the indicated direction only if you intend to visit the destination, and ensure lane changes and deviations from the main route are made well in advance.
- You must not stop or park in violation of local regulations just because you have seen the sign — look for designated parking at the destination.
Tips for Drivers
- If you intend to follow the sign: signal and change lanes well in advance so other road users know you intend to turn off.
- Look for supplementary plates beneath the sign that show distance or arrows — they indicate whether the turn is immediate or further ahead.
- Be extra alert for increased tourist traffic and pedestrians near attractions; maintain a safe speed and be prepared to stop.
- Do not use sudden braking or unexpected lane changes just because you missed the sign; continue to the next suitable exit or place to turn around.
Common Mistakes
- Believing that the sign grants right of way or other traffic advantages — it is for information only.
- Suddenly turning off or braking hard when seeing the sign without signaling or checking the traffic situation.
- Confusing the attraction sign with service or warning signs and thus misjudging how to act.

Attraction signs belong to the brown information signs used to guide people to cultural and natural sites, museums, and other tourist attractions. Signs are often erected in collaboration between the Swedish Transport Administration and local tourism organizations to make attractions easier to find.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the sign mean I must turn off?
No, the sign is only informative and shows the direction to an attraction. You choose whether to follow the instruction; if you do, plan the turn and change lanes well in advance.
Does the sign show how far it is to the attraction?
Sometimes the sign is complemented by a supplementary plate showing distance in meters or kilometers. If no distance plate is present, you should follow the direction sign and be attentive to further signage along the route.
Is 'Attraction' the same as tourist information or service?
Not exactly — 'Attraction' points out a specific place of interest, while service signs show facilities such as a restaurant, petrol station, or toilet. Both are information signs but have different purposes.
