Use Caution on Gravel Roads
Many roads in Iceland, including popular tourist
routes, are unpaved gravel roads. Drive with
caution on these surfaces, as they can be uneven
and prone to loose gravel. Reduce your speed,
maintain a safe distance from other vehicles,
and avoid sudden maneuvers to prevent skidding
or loss of control.
