Welcome to Trafik Stockholm

Trafik Stockholm is one of the Swedish Transport Administration’s four traffic management centres. It collects, processes and provides traffic information around the clock, all year round in the counties of Stockholm and Gotland. The centre is responsible for the delivery of information about the current traffic situation to the general public and other interested parties via radio, internet and mobile services. Moreover, the centre also handles calls reporting anything amiss on Stockholm’s city streets, public squares and parks. The aim of the operation is to deliver safer and more effective navigability on our roads and to reduce the environmental impact. In addition, Trafik Stockholm shall contribute to making Stockholm a clean and attractive city to stay and live in. This is done by handling all reports of damage on the streets, squares, parks and public spaces of Stockholm city.

Through different channels the traffic management centre gives information about, for example, stationary cars, traffic queues, accidents and objects on the traffic lanes. The traffic manager makes an initial analysis of the situation before the decision regarding action is taken. A host of technical systems assist the Traffic Management Centre to monitor the traffic. With the system’s assistance the traffic manager can even steer traffic by, for example, reducing the speed, closing traffic lanes, or giving information about obstacles on the road via the variable message signs.

In addition to Stockholm, the Swedish Transport Administration has Traffic Management Centres in Härnösand, Göteborg and Kristianstad. Together these four centres provide surveillance of the entire country around the clock, all year round.

Trafik Stockholm is run jointly by the Swedish Transport Administration and the City of Stockholm. The other Traffic Management Centres are run by the Swedish Transport Administration.
