Questions Learners Have About Icelandic Speed Limits

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

What are the general speed limits in Iceland?

In Iceland, the general speed limit is usually 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on rural gravel roads, and 90 km/h on rural paved roads, unless otherwise indicated by signs.

What does a 'Hámarkshraði' sign indicate?

A 'Hámarkshraði' sign (red circle with a number) indicates a specific maximum speed limit that must not be exceeded in the area or section of road where it is posted.

How do I know when a specific speed limit ends in Iceland?

A specific speed limit typically ends when you encounter a 'Lögbundið hámarkshraða lýkur' sign (a white circular sign with a diagonal black line) or an 'End of all prohibitions' sign (a grey circular sign with diagonal lines). After this, you revert to the general speed limit for that road type.

What is the 'End of all prohibitions' sign used for?

The 'End of all prohibitions' sign (a grey circular sign with four diagonal lines) indicates that all previous local prohibitions, including specific speed limits, minimum speeds, and overtaking bans, are no longer in effect. You then adhere to the general traffic rules and limits.

Why is understanding speed limit resets important for the Icelandic driving exam?

Understanding how speed limits reset is crucial because it's a common area of confusion and a high-failure-rate topic on the Icelandic driving theory exam. Correctly applying the general speed limits after a specific limit ends ensures you comply with traffic laws and increases your chances of passing.
