Flutningsnetið
Flutningsnetið, also known as the Icelandic Road Network, is a comprehensive system of roads that connects all parts of Iceland. It is maintained by the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration, a state-owned enterprise. The network consists of approximately 17,000 kilometers of roads, including highways, regional roads, and local roads. The primary highway, Route 1, stretches from the capital Reykjavik to the town of Höfn in the west, covering a distance of about 1,300 kilometers. This highway is a vital artery for transportation, connecting major towns and cities, as well as providing access to key natural attractions such as the Golden Circle and the South Coast.
The road network is designed to accommodate a variety of vehicles, from passenger cars to heavy trucks.
Flutningsnetið plays a crucial role in Iceland's economy, facilitating the transport of goods and people. It
