Navigating Iceland's Extreme Road Network
Iceland's road network is one of the most unique and challenging in the world. Managed primarily by Vegagerðin (The Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration), the system is built to provide safe passage through a landscape defined by glaciers, volcanoes, and intense North Atlantic weather.
In Reykjavík, the road network is modern and well-maintained, but the city's geography and the rapid changes in weather can create sudden bottlenecks. Our live feeds allow you to check the status of the primary commuter routes and the essential links to the suburbs before you leave your home. For travelers heading to the airport, monitoring the Reykjanesbraut (Route 41) is essential, as this exposed coastal road can experience intense crosswinds and limited visibility.
Major Traffic Corridors
- The Ring Road (Route 1): The 1,322km lifeline of the nation, connecting the most inhabited parts of Iceland.
- Reykjanesbraut (Route 41): The high-speed link connecting the capital with Keflavík International Airport.
- Vesturlandsvegur: The primary northern gateway from Reykjavík, carrying traffic toward the West and North.
- Suðurlandsvegur: The vital southern artery that leads to the popular tourist destinations of the South Coast.
Iceland Road Safety
In 2024, Iceland recorded 13 traffic fatalities, with the country aiming for a 5% annual decrease as part of its long-term safety strategy. Maintaining safety across 26,000 kilometers of road is a unique challenge, particularly with nearly half of the nation's 1,200 bridges still being single-lane structures. Real-time camera monitoring is a vital tool for all drivers to identify hazardous wind gusts—which have historically reached record levels of 267 km/h—and verify road visibility before attempting mountain passes or remote fjord crossings.

Real-time visual information is a critical safety tool in Iceland, where weather conditions can change from clear skies to a full blizzard in minutes. Having a visual confirmation of the road surface, snow accumulation, and visibility is essential for every driver, especially those unfamiliar with subarctic driving.
TrafficVision aggregates feeds from Vegagerðin and various municipal agencies to provide a comprehensive, real-time view of Iceland. This data allows you to see exactly where a storm is hitting hardest or if a specific mountain pass is experiencing "Ófært" (impassable) conditions. Whether you are a local resident or a visitor on a dream road trip, our platform provides the professional-grade context you need.
