What’s That M sign meaning?

  1. On small roads where it can be difficult to meet other cars it shows where the road is wider and two cars can pas each other.

  2. M = Meeting, when you are doing drug business for example, then you know you can drive in there and exchange the stuff.

  3. Milk, or mjölk in Swedish.

    A nearby house has fresh milk for sale at a reasonable price. If no houses are in sight then milk was previously offered but the cows have perished.

  4. on narrow roads, it makes getting by passing cars much less scary. People are really bad at using them and seem to prefer to play chicken unfortunately.

  5. My husband tried to trick me when I asked this a few years ago 😂 We live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere so I saw a couple of these here and there, so I asked what it meant. He said “Metro, duh, that’s where the old metro station was before they decided we don’t need it here”. Cue my confusion as to why the fuck they needed subway/metro in the tiniest town imaginable.

  6. Commonly missunderstood as “mötesplats” as someone explained, this is actually a reserved parking spot for members of the political party “moderaterna”. They reformed the party in the early part of the 2000’s, but from around 1960 untill then it was reserved parking for the wealthy party members. They gave up the “m spots” in an attempt to be less elitist and gain more support from the working class, and to appease protests regarding classism.

  7. According to my younger early 2000s self it was a [a place where people hooked up](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6tesplatsen). That’s what happens when my younger self overheard my mother talking to her friend about the friend meeting men there. I thought it was a bit strange as to why she hooked up with people on the street, often in the middle of nowhere, but I also wasn’t judgemental so I never asked. It took me a while till I figured that one out.
