No informationVANTAR · 9 sections

No information: Vegagerðin's data does not list a winter service rule for this section.

"Light snow" under rule G means a small amount of snow, no part of the route impassable or difficult, and clearing that is only a snowplough pass over the carriageway. The once-a-week midwinter clearing on rule G roads is so that they are passable for four-wheel-drive vehicles and/or when it costs no more than about three times a light-snow clearing; Vegagerðin judges whether it is realistic given use and cost. "Managed by the local municipality" and "no information" have no further official definition, so we do not add one.

Service classes 1-4

Summarised from Vegagerðin's quality standard and winter service classes. Service hours may be shifted by up to one hour: if a road opens earlier in the morning, service ends correspondingly earlier in the evening, or the other way round.

Tunnel sections appear as class 0 in the data, which is not one of the four published classes. Hours of 00:00-00:00 appear only on class 1 sections, so we show them as around the clock per the class 1 definition.

Every road section

701 sections grouped by road name, ordered by road number. Weekday hours apply Monday to Friday, weekend hours Saturday and Sunday; sections of one road that share a schedule are listed together. "Varies" means the schedule differs between parts of the section (40 sections); we do not pick one.
