Historia
[redigera | redigera wikitext]Den första högertrafikförordningen i landet utfärdades redan , dock utan för att vara långlivad. Redan kalenderår ersattes den med ett ny liksom direkt stadgade vänstertrafik.[1] inom Finland gällde vänstertrafik även sedan landet avträtts från Sverige mot Ryssland, mot år då högertrafik infördes.
Vänstertrafik inom Sverige föranledde inga bekymmer förrän fordonstrafiken på allvar började expandera och allt mer internationaliseras, då förslag framfördes ifall anpassning mot det trafiksystem dominerande vid den europeiska kontinenten. Ökad trafiksäkerhet inom ett internationellt perspektiv fanns det omfattande skälet mot att
If you look carefully at the pandemonium pictured above, you’ll notice something awry toward the left side. The first few cars are going one direction but, as you move backward, the cars start going the opposite way. Or, at least, they’re trying to there are so many people in the street, no one is going anywhere, at least anytime soon. Most traffic jams like that ones where people flood the street, that is are caused by something unexpected, and drivers and pedestrians alike find their attention diverted toward the unpredictable event.
But this one was different. The confusion was planned and even voted on.
The image above depicts Stockholm, Sweden during Högertrafikomläggningen, literally “the right-hand traffic diversion.” (You can call it “Dagen H,” or “H-Day,” if attempts to pronounce “Högertrafikomläggningen” fail, which they probably will.

Dagen H (H-day), today usually called "Högertrafikomläggningen" (lit.'the right-hand traffic reorganisation'), was on 3 September , the day on which Sweden switched from driving on the left-hand side of the road to the right.[2] The "H" stands for "Högertrafik", the Swedish word for right-hand traffic.[3] It was by far the largest logistical event in Sweden's history.[4]
Background
[edit]There were various arguments for the change:
- All neighbouring countries drove on the right, including Norway and Finland, with which Sweden shares land borders, with 5million vehicles crossing annually.[5]
- More than 90 percent of Swedes drove left-hand-drive vehicles,[5] and this led to many head-on collisions when passing on narrow two-lane highways.[6] City buses were among the very few vehicles that conformed to the normal opposite-steering wheel rule, being right-hand-drive (RHD).[7]
However, the change was unpopular; in a referendum, 83 percent voted to keep driving on the left. Nevertheless, the Riksd
