Norway

Here are a few driving tips to keep in mind when heading to Norway:

• Tunnels: Norway has many tunnels, some of which can be quite long (like the Lærdal Tunnel). Follow tunnel guidelines, keep headlights on and be aware of potential fog or ice.
• Winter tyres: If you’re visiting between October and April, ice tyres are a mandatory requirement for driving and will help you navigate the roads safely.
• Livestock: Norway's roads often pass through rural areas, where elk and sheep may be present. Be cautious, especially at dawn and dusk, and follow guidelines for animal encounters.
• Headlights: During winter, it’s mandatory to use headlights at all times because of the limited daylight hours and poor visibility when it’s snowing.
• Ferry schedules: If you're driving along the coastal routes, some roads may involve ferry crossings. Be aware of the schedules and plan your route accordingly so you don't have to wait long.
