KNOWLEDGE BASE
Yes. Motorcycles are permitted and classified in their own toll category, typically lower than the standard car rate. They use the same toll lanes as cars.
Both Denmark and Sweden are Schengen Area members. EU citizens typically cross without passport checks, but temporary border controls may be in effect. Always carry valid ID or a passport as a precaution.
The speed limit on the bridge section is 90 km/h. Speed cameras are in operation. During adverse weather, restrictions may be lowered. Always observe posted signs.
Approximately every 20 minutes during peak hours, and every 30–40 minutes at other times. Services run from early morning to late evening. Check DSB or Skånetrafiken for current timetables.
