Pølsesvingen is a short stretch of road in Drammen, where Grønland meets Nedre Eikervei, and Grensegaten goes up towards Sundhauggaten. The stretch got its name in the 19th century, and the name refers to the characteristic sausage-like shape of the stretch of road. It is important to note that the name has no connection to a former sausage factory or slaughterhouse, as these came to the area later.

Pølsesvingen has a cultural significance in Drammen, and knowledge of the place is often considered an indication of local belonging. The place is managed by the Drammen Pølseforening, which is responsible for the Google listing. Pølsesvingen is thus a well-known landmark for both residents and visitors to the city.
