This lesson explains the foundational right-hand rule (högerregeln), which is the default priority rule at Swedish intersections where no other signs or signals regulate traffic. You will learn that you must always yield to vehicles approaching from your right in such situations. The content clarifies where this rule applies, such as in residential areas and on smaller rural roads, and covers the critical exceptions when signs or other rules take precedence.

The General Right-of-Way (Högerregeln) lesson explains one of the most important subjects in the Priority Rules and Intersections unit of the Swedish Driving Theory B curriculum. It focuses on essential exam content that every learner in Sweden needs for the Swedish driving theory exam. Through clear explanations, practical examples, and real traffic situations, this lesson helps you understand how the rules work in practice and strengthens your overall exam preparation.
Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to confidently identify intersections where the general right-hand rule ('högerregeln') applies and correctly determine which vehicle has the right-of-way. You will understand that, by default, you must always yield to traffic approaching from your right at junctions without specific signage or traffic signals. This knowledge is directly tested in the Swedish theory exam, particularly in scenario-based questions. You will also be able to recognise the critical exceptions to this rule, such as when approaching a road with priority signage or when a vehicle is already in a roundabout. This practical understanding will enhance your safety and decision-making on Swedish roads, preventing common errors and contributing to smoother traffic flow.
This lesson is ideal for all learners preparing for the Swedish Category B driving theory test, especially those new to Swedish traffic rules. It is particularly helpful for drivers who find priority situations confusing or frequently make mistakes on questions related to yielding at intersections.
