There is a ️ sign, you can stop. Without it, you can't.

There are signs indicating scenic platforms where you can stop, similar to a picture of a tree. They will give you a 200 to 500 meter advance warning. There are many signs like this along the way.

There will be a semicircular bend where you can stop. If you stop anywhere else, it will cause traffic congestion. There are only two lanes in both directions, or you will have to go off the roadbed, and the car must be able to climb back up.

Thank you all. I just saw Deti Waterfall on the 826 side. I think it's very spectacular here. The waterfall is better seen in an all-round view. I wonder what the scenery is like on the 864 side. I plan to go to the 864 side, but I may not go to see Deti there again. The main reason is that I can avoid going back, and I will report the road conditions to you all later. ? Iceland Q&A

Friends around the island, have you honked your car horn? On the sixth day of the island tour, I had never honked the horn before. Today, in the eastern mountain area, there was a mountain turn that couldn't see the car on the other side, so I wanted to honk the horn to remind them, but I found that no matter how I pressed the horn, it didn't make a sound. I'm not sure if I should contact the car dealership to change the car, considering that I've already traveled so far. I didn't hear any cars honking on the road before, and the previous roads were all easy to drive. I wonder what the road conditions will be like later. Will everyone use the car horn when driving around the island ? Iceland Q&A

41. Do not expect too much comfort in the itinerary above, as the people here are not into that kind of thing. They are all doing business in a practical way. 42. Even for waterproof shoes, if possible, prepare two pairs. 43. The wool sweaters here are said to be extremely warm, but they are made of real materials and can be a bit scratchy to wear. 44. The public security is good, so you can basically rest assured. 45. There are very few people on the road, so don't hesitate to ask for help when needed, and try to lend a hand when someone else needs help. 46. The public restrooms all have toilet paper. Remember to flush it down the toilet after use. For female hygiene products and used tissue, just throw them in the trash can. 47. When taking photos, in addition to a wide-angle lens, remember to bring a telephoto lens and a tripod. You can't predict the scenery around the next corner, or whether you will be able to see the aurora. 48. A selfie stick and a GoPro make a great combination. When climbing a mountain, it's very convenient to have one hand free for taking photos when it's too cold, and the GoPro can also be mounted on the car to shoot video. 49. The sun can be very bright, so remember to wear sunglasses, especially when driving. 50. The weather is changeable, and the weather forecast is constantly changing. Local websites will be more accurate, so wear multiple layers of clothing and be prepared to adjust at any time ? Iceland Q&A

I was following a local photographer from Reykjavik to Vik in Iceland, and she was driving at over 100 km/h the whole way. I asked her if there were any problems, and she said that there were no speed cameras in Iceland, only police officers hiding in the bushes on some busy roads! When we entered some towns, she was also driving at a speed of over 70 km/h past the speed cameras! At the time, I was also very worried! Later on, I found that there were two types of speed cameras. One type only measured the speed, and the other type had two flashing lights on top of it. I guessed that the first type did not take pictures! Everyone can refer to this! I was driving at a speed of 100-110 km/h the whole way, and there were still many cars that passed me! On the three-digit sections, driving at 30 km/h and avoiding large stones was not a problem! The regular ring road route has no place that only SUVs can pass! As long as you don't have a tire burst, any car can go! The above is just personal advice! Everyone should decide according to their own situation! If there are more people, it's better to rent a larger car. The average cost per person won't be much different ? Iceland Q&A

I have two questions now, see who can help answer them; First, we want to drive from the airport to Oslo and Reykjavik city, walk around a few attractions, how to park in the city? How to pay for parking meters? If there is no cash on hand, can the airport swipe the card to withdraw cash? Second, I have booked some homestays in Norway and Iceland, but I estimate that I will not be able to check in until after 9 pm every day. How do the landlords usually leave the door for us to check in? It's our first time to stay, we don't know each other, and we don't know the specific location of the homestay ? Iceland Q&A

Could you guys please help? Three of us are going to Iceland in early February for 8-9 days, and plan to visit Vik black sand beach, glacier lagoon, golden circle, grass hat mountain, Reykjavik. We are all "old hands" and of course prefer Road trip. The problem is that we have no experience driving on icy roads, and we are worried that we may not be able to handle the road conditions in bad weather. Could you guys please tell us whether we should give up Road trip? If we don't give up, what safety measures should we take ? Iceland Q&A

I've been in Iceland for three days. I've used my credit card to pay for groceries at the supermarket, at the hotel, and to buy a local phone card.
