Local authorities in Gävle, Sweden have announced traffic restrictions on the E4 highway north of the city for the upcoming Easter weekend. According to reports from Gefle Dagblad and Arbetarbladet, overtaking lanes will be closed on sections of the E4 due to expected heavy holiday traffic. The restrictions are reportedly similar to measures implemented in previous years during peak travel periods.
Traffic police are expected to be present to monitor compliance with the restrictions. The measures come as many travelers are anticipated to be heading to and from mountain areas for the Easter holiday, creating potentially congested conditions on the major north-south route.
