1. Junction layout
A junction layout is a schematic representation of the layout of an upcoming intersection or junction. It can show how roads branch, cross or continue and may help drivers understand which direction to follow before reaching the intersection.
Crossroad-shape diagrams are commonly used on advance direction signs. Depending on the country's sign system, the diagram may also distinguish the main road, side roads, route numbers or destinations.
What can a junction-layout diagram tell you in Sweden?
The road-continuation panel shows a junction where drivers on a road drawn with a thin line must give way to vehicles on a road drawn with a broad line. Read it with the accompanying sign. Other junction diagrams may provide destination information instead.

Does a junction-layout picture itself give priority at a junction in Sweden?
Not by itself. Priority comes from the applicable signs, signals, road markings and traffic rules. Where a layout panel accompanies a priority sign, read the two together; do not infer a right of way solely from the geometry shown.

Should the drawing be treated as an exact map of the junction in Sweden?
No. A schematic diagram can omit islands, turning lanes, cycle facilities and minor road details. Slow down, check the actual road layout, and follow lane arrows, signs and signals when you reach the intersection.
