Road Signs in Sweden - Warning Signs

Warning Signs

Warning signs are triangular and have red borders, but in contrast with those of most other countries that use triangular warning signs, Swedish signs have yellow backgrounds, rather than white. More types of warning signs for animals are used than in most European countries. Moose, deer, wild boar, reindeer, sheep, horse and cow can appear.
