Shared Spaces and Pedestrian Priority frequently asked questions

Get answers to common questions learners have about practising Shared Spaces and Pedestrian Priority. This section highlights what is tested, how practice helps, and how to improve your results for the Swedish driving theory exam in Sweden.

How are shared spaces and pedestrian priority questions presented in the Swedish driving theory exam?

The Swedish driving theory exam includes questions about shared spaces (like 'shared zones' or 'gågata') and situations where pedestrians have priority. You'll be tested on recognising these areas, understanding the low speed limits, and knowing who to yield to, particularly pedestrians.

Why is pedestrian priority in shared spaces a difficult topic for learners?

Learners sometimes find this topic challenging because the lines between pedestrian and vehicle areas are blurred, and the emphasis is on very low speeds and mutual consideration. It requires a shift in mindset from traditional road rules to cooperative sharing.

How does practising shared spaces and pedestrian priority help me pass the Swedish theory test?

By practising these specific scenarios, you become familiar with the types of questions Trafikverket asks about shared zones and pedestrian rights. This targeted practice increases your accuracy and confidence, reducing the chance of errors on the test.

What are the key rules for driving in a shared space in Sweden?

In Swedish shared spaces ('gågata' or 'lekfullt utformad miljö'), vehicles must drive at walking pace (max 15 km/h if not specified lower), and pedestrians always have priority. Drivers must be extremely cautious and yield to pedestrians and cyclists.

What is the difference between a shared space and a pedestrian street?

A pedestrian street ('gata' with specific signage) is primarily for pedestrians, with very limited vehicle access often restricted to specific times or for deliveries. A shared space is designed for mixed use, where pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles coexist, with a strong emphasis on pedestrian priority and very low speeds.
