Cool route indeed, but some of those curves are super 'brutal'  |
I was just going to make the same comment! Also the gradients are very steep, in some places over 5%.
Another comment I have is about signalling and signage:
Block signals and entry signals should normally have a distant signal, normally 1 km (if I remember correctly it can be between 800 m and 1200 m, if the distance is more or less than this there should be a sign with the distance) before the main signal. Where the signal blocks are less than 3 km the distant signal is normally built-in with the previous block signal. If this is the case an orientation sign is placed 1 km before the next signal, indicating to the driver that this is the point to take action to any restrictive signal aspect from the previous signal.
Where a lower speed limit is coming up ahead, the orientation sign for this should also be 1 km before the new speed limit.
I know it's just a test route, but maybe you will find this useful when building the Kiruna-Narvik route.
