The Icelandic road conditions can be different to the conditions you are used to at home, with narrower roads, rough gravel roads, icy and snowy roads and even wild animals crossing the main road. Before you begin your travel, please check with safetravel.is for information about how to travel safely in Iceland.
In Iceland the speed limit in populated areas is usually 50 km/hr.
The speed limit is often 60 km/hr on thruways, but in residential areas it is usually only 30 km/hr.
The main rule in rural areas is that gravel roads have a speed limit of 80 km/hr, and paved roads 90 km/hr.
Signs indicate if other speed limits apply.
