• Three-legged intersection.

• Separated paths.

• Road users from the right-hand side road should yield to cars on main road.

• Somewhat unclear rules for cyclists1.

Site: Grenadjärgatan/Sparvgatan.

E: Unsignalised intersection with separate paths and two lanes

• Four-legged intersection.

• Separated paths.

• Road users from the right-hand side road should yield to cars on main road.

• Somewhat unclear rules for cyclists1.

Site: Grenadjärgatan/Åbylundsgatan.
