Speed limits in Iceland

The general speed limit for cars in Iceland is 50 km/h (31 mph) in urban areas, 80 km/h (49.7 mph) on rural gravel roads and 90 km/h (55.9 mph) on paved rural roads. It is allowed to set higher speed limits up to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) if deemed safe and necessary for traffic flow but no road actually has higher than the 90 km/h (55.9 mph) limit. Some major urban highways well separated from pedestrians have higher limits of 60–80 km/h. Lower limits are also implemented such as 30 km/h (18.6 mph) in residential areas.
