Questions Learners Have About Reserved Lanes

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Reserved Lanes, including how questions match the official theory exam in Iceland, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are mandatory vehicle-specific lanes in Icelandic traffic?

These are lanes or paths explicitly designated for certain types of traffic or road users, such as public buses, cyclists, pedestrians, or horse riders. General vehicular traffic is typically prohibited or severely restricted in these lanes.

Can I drive in a Strætó (bus) lane in Reykjavik?

Generally, no. Strætó lanes are reserved for public buses and authorized vehicles. Unauthorized entry is usually only permitted for a short distance when making a turn, and strict rules apply. Violations can lead to significant fines in Reykjavik.

What does the 'Reiðvegur' sign indicate?

The 'Reiðvegur' (Sign 414) indicates a riding path, which is especially intended for the traffic of horse riders. Motor vehicles are prohibited from using these paths.

Are there combined bicycle and pedestrian paths in Iceland?

Yes, Icelandic traffic regulations include signs for 'Common Path' (Sign 416) and 'Separated Paths' (Sign 418), which can accommodate riding traffic and other users. When on a common path, cyclists must give way to pedestrians and show due consideration.

What happens if I illegally use a dedicated lane?
