Road signs

Click here for grammar

It can be very confusing to be in a foreign country when you do not understand the signs in the streets. It is vital that you know if there is a parking fee or not when you need to park your car, for example. Enjoy the lesson!

Avgift

You have to pay a parking fee - “avgift” means “fee” in all kinds of context. Sometimes you will see it as “avgiftsbelagd”. The point is that you will have to pay. Except if it is in the word “avgiftsfri” - which means free from a fee 🙂

Boendeparkering

Parking for residents. - Do not park in these spaces, if you do not live there. If you do, you still have to register and get a permit before using these spaces.

Förhyrda platser

Reserved (rented) spaces. Again, permit is needed.

Besökande 4 timmar.

Parking for visitors, max 4 hours. As the word “avgift,” is not there, you can park for free during these 4 hours.
