Blind crest
Please keep to the far right side of the road. Another car could be coming the other way.
Icelandic road signs that could save your rental deposit. Or you.
Iceland's roads are easy until they aren't: a bridge with one lane, a crest you can't see over, tarmac that turns to gravel at 90 km/h. These are the signs visitors get wrong, straight from the app's Get Around screen, with what to do when you see them.
Straight from the app. Get Icebreaker for the signs, parking tips and the Get Around screen.
Unbridged rivers
One or many unbridged rivers ahead. Only suitable for bigger 4x4 jeeps
Gravel road
Please slow down, drive slowly as tiers can lose grip
Sheep on the road
Possibility of sheep (or other animals) on the road
Pavement changes to gravel
Gravel road ahead. Please slow down and drive slower on gravel roads
Closed road
The road ahead is closed due to snow or other reasons
Single lane bridge
Slow down to 50 km/h. Another car could be coming the other way.
Icy road
Danger of sudden icy conditions
The rest of the rules, briefly: headlights on at all times, 90 km/h on paved roads, 80 on gravel, 50 in towns, off-road driving is illegal and heavily fined, and F-roads in the highlands need a 4x4. Check umferdin.is every morning, or read the same map in English on our road conditions page.
All of this, live, in your pocket.
Most of this lives in the app too, on a map that knows where you're standing. It counts down to the next happy hour, knows which cheap-eats deal is on right now, checks tonight's aurora and the weather, and shows opening hours before you've walked there. A local friend in your pocket, from arrival to adventure. Free, no account, no nagging.
