What the hell are this things on Swedish roads?! and why does anyone think they are ok?

  1. Only busses are allowed to use the road so if you try to break the law by using your car the law breaks your car instead.

  2. Körspårshinder keep cars from using the bus lane. You’re not allowed to drive there unless you’re a bus.

    I’ve never seen one IRL. Maybe it’s an area where there has been a problem with people speeding through there as a shortcut causing accidents.

  3. to prevent cars from driving on a bus only road. why is it a bus only road? since it wasn’t people would be taking a residential road for there commute endangering the people living there with heavy traffic and speeding.

    you get a win win situation. the bus can go a route that doesn’t end up in a traffic jam and is thereby more reliable and you remove the issue of spillover traffic since if they try there cars will get fucked up.

  4. it’s a lane enforcer. The sign means “only buses may use this road” and the stuff in the road is deliberately put in place so that nothing but buses can pass.

    Another variant on the same theme is a pretty damn solid slab of concrete that only buses and trucks have enough track width for.

    Yet another variant is a deliberate hole in the ground with reinforced sides that the buses with their wider track width can pass, but cars cannot.

    Cheaper to maintain than a boom or a bollard, you know?
