Hej Hej! I ride a motorcycle and keep coming across these sign board with extra description underneath. My Swedish is rudimentary and hence I was wondering what it means. I’ve seen many cars just going past such signs to the tourist places. I asked a couple of my friends and one of them said that we are never allowed to cross it while the other one said that we are allowed to cross if the boom bar is open/ unavailable. So, I’m confused! I would like to cross this with my motorcycle and camp in the area but don’t wanna break any laws by doing so. Does anyone know for certain what this means?

the boom is just to stop people that ignore the sign. if you have to ask you are not one of the motor vehicles allowed to access it.
its probably a private road and thus not everyone is allowed to use it. if you had a bicycle you would be allowed though.
Thank you! For your valuable input! I by mistake did a double post of this question in r/stockholm. My apologies if you see it there too!
Thanks again for your input! I shall stay away from these roads then!
The signs are read, top to bottom:
> Any motortraffic other than moped class 1 forbidden.
> Boom/Gate.
> Does not apply to authorized traffic.
If you have to ask yourself if you’re authorized traffic you’re probably not authorized. This is most often than not a private road that doesn’t lead anywhere where you need to go, and if it does lead to like a bathing spot it’s there to prevent a parking chaos or similar.
It means you are not allowed to drive there.
Unless you are.
The northern wilderness will take good care of you beyond that point.
The ”vägbom” translated to road bomb/land mine will explode if you drive heavy vehicles like cars or motorbikes. Be careful.
När man är behörig trafik är det bara trycka gasen i botten och ramma den jävla bommen
If you break the law you will make a local who witnessed it very very crossed with you.
Its to scare away motorcyclists who want to drive down the road and camp
I hate these signs.. They block of access to way to many good fishing spots..
No stunt drivning allowed. The car is actually jumping over the motorcycle and that is forbidden.
