hjólakröfur

hjólakröfur refers to the requirements placed upon bicycles in Iceland. These regulations are primarily concerned with road safety and ensuring that bicycles are visible and properly equipped. Key requirements often include the necessity of having functioning brakes, as well as front and rear lights that are clearly visible in low-light conditions. Reflectors are also typically mandated, particularly on the pedals and rear of the bicycle. While not always strictly enforced, these guidelines aim to minimize accidents involving cyclists and motor vehicles. The specific regulations can be found in Icelandic traffic laws and are often communicated by local authorities to promote safe cycling practices. Cyclists are encouraged to be aware of these demands to ensure their own safety and the safety of others on the road.
