Swenbanan - fictive swedish route

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.

At the Swenbanan I have forgot the distance signals. I has planned to change the signs to signals.

At the Kiruna route I make it as real. I have Videos (Narvik-Kiruna and Kiruna-Narvik) and I compare it.

Very good to hear! I'm looking forward to try it out.
