"I'm happy. Now it will be safer," said Kjell Nilsson, who discovered the problem and raised the alarm. Nilsson first showed the problematic signage to SVT Västernorrland in September last year, describing it as directly dangerous to traffic.

While pleased with the decision, Nilsson expressed frustration that the process took too long. The issue involved overtaking signs that had been placed incorrectly along the road, creating potential safety risks for drivers in the area.
