Road transport access in the Swedish capital Stockholm improved in 2012, a study by the Traffic Administration Office shows.

Cycling is on the increase, and environmental and traffic commissioner Ulla Hamilton reportedly said that the City is now increasing its investments in bicycle infrastructure.
