Traffic Rules
Driving in Iceland is straightforward, but local rules and fast changing weather make careful driving essential.
- The speed limit is usually 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on rural gravel roads, and 90 km/h on paved rural roads, unless signs show otherwise.
- Seat belts are mandatory for the driver and every passenger in the vehicle.
- Children under 135 cm must use a suitable child seat.
- Headlights and taillights must be on at all times, even during the day.
- Iceland has a very strict alcohol limit, so it is safest not to drive after drinking at all.
- On single lane bridges, the vehicle closer to the bridge has the right of way, and the speed limit across them is 50 km/h.
- In roundabouts, the inner lane has priority when exiting, so drivers in the outer lane must yield.
