Speed limits in Iceland
The general
highways well separated from pedestrians have higher limits of 60–80 km/h (37–50 mph). Lower limits are also implemented such as 30 km/h (19 mph) in residential areas.[1]
Lorries and cars with trailers have a speed limit as signed in any given place but never higher than 80 km/h (50 mph).
Iceland also has lower advisory speed limits, which are indicated by rectangular blue signs with white letters. They are mainly used in trouble spots on rural highways such as when approaching a sharp corner or a single-lane bridge.[1]
