It’s a road that goes along the coast, you can (almost) see the sea
Coast road
It says “coastal road”. The lighthouse on the sign symbolizes the important naval locations alongside the road. AFAIK there is no actual lighthouse it is referring to.
Those signs mark an old medieval road from Turku to Stockholm.
Brown background colour indicates a sight to see, what the exact reason is varies. That one says “shore road”, so my guess would be a road along the shore that has a view of a lighthouse, as that’s what the icon is. Could also just be nice views over the sea, I’m not sure how literal the iconography of tourist road signs is.

It’s a route from Turku north, I’m not sure how far it goes but at least to Vaasa. Some other commenter suggested that it goes all the way to Tornio and then continues south on the Swedish side to Stockholm. It’s mostly parallel to E8, but closer to the coast and with lower speed limit, but I believe some stretches are on E8, and if it continues north from Vaasa quite a lot of it must be on E8.

That means you will be driving behind a “kiimaliiteri” about 500 kms
