Chapter 3 · How Sweden is governed
En kommunal gata behöver snöröjas. Vem ansvarar för den kommunala servicen?
A municipal street needs snow clearance. Who is responsible for this municipal service?
Correct answer: The municipality
The municipality is responsible for snow clearance on its streets. This does not mean it is responsible for every road: the question specifically concerns a municipal street.

Why this option does not fit
Trafikverket
The Swedish Transport Administration is responsible for state roads. This question concerns a street under municipal responsibility.
En enskild vägförening
A road association may maintain private roads. Here the street is municipal, so the municipality is responsible for the service.
Regionen
The region’s healthcare responsibility does not give it responsibility for clearing this municipal street.
