Icelandic roads are generally way below what you might find elsewhere. And the road signs too. PIC Katdeem
W e Icelanders are a strange breed indeed. And that even rhymes…
Yup, we fled the viking bloodshed stuff the Scandinavians boasted about around 760 approximately, found this island totally covered in lush forests and then promptly chopped it all down. Then we proceeded to kill each other. If not by the sword then by starvation.
Fast forward and we still believe in fairyland, trolls, river monsters, a classless society, fairness of the United States government not to mention that we are the best in everything. Least pollution, strongest men, most beautiful women.
Reality is way different… but that is a long story and none of you like long stories. You´re here for fun stuff.
And you got it. Below you see some of the very local street and road signs you might come across on your trip around this place. And if you scratch your head you will not be the first to do so.
Our favorite and our very own logo is the SHEEP road sign. Do take this seriously. It simply means there is sheep around and these animals seem to like some roads better than grass. Believe us, you do not want to hit sheep. SLOW DOWN.
A man called horse. Not really. More like man on horse. It means there is a large stable nearby so caution should be exercised since local horsemen sometimes use roads to get around.
Ice ahead. Seriously, we feel ashamed for this shit. It actually alerts you that you can get ice cream nearby. Sheepish to say the least.
We do not know the artist but he must be very old since this is his idea of a modern camera. It means speed cameras ahead but don´t worry, most are broken.
This you may or may not know but take it seriously. It means you there is a gravel road ahead or some recently laid road. Either case, rocks could be flying so close to window and drive slower than usual.
