It has 90 or convert|110|km/h|mi/h|0|abbr=on as speed limit in Sweden, and is usually 7-8 meters wide, enough to make meetings between heavy vehicles problem free.

New roads have been built convert|7.5|m|ft|0|abbr=on wide the last 15 years, but there are several much narrower parts left. convert|6|m|ft|0|abbr=on width makes meetings between heavy vehicles tight. The last 50 km near Å the road is mostly less than convert|6|m|ft|abbr=on wide, often convert|5|m|ft|abbr=on. Buses and caravans should avoid to drive here, but there are many of them anyway.
