So beautiful in fact that it would be easy to become distracted and drive off the road. Of course, we want you to have a safe and enjoyable holiday, so here are some simple tips to help you enjoy the stunning scenery along the roads of Northern Norway this summer in safety.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Norway is not a country where traffic rules are viewed as friendly suggestions. To some visitors, the rules and penalties may seem a little strict, but they are reflected in some of the lowest road fatality rates in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed limits are enforced, drink-driving laws are strict and serious offences can have consequences far beyond your holiday. The good news is that a little patience and common sense are usually all you need for a safe and enjoyable road trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed dekode-gtm-iframe-preview alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How expencive is Norway, really?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-cookieconsent=\"marketing\" data-cookieblock-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oLcR4oulamk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\t\t<div class=\"cookieconsent-optout-marketing dekode-gtm-cookie-consent-video-placeholder\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dekode-gtm-cookie-consent is-block-core-embed is-provider-youtube\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/oLcR4oulamk\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"youtube\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"overlay\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cookie-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"iframe-preview-text\">This content (film) is loaded from YouTube (third-party website), you will need to accept statistics and marketing cookies to be able to watch it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a title=\"Renew consent\" class=\"dekode-gtm-cookiebot-renew\" href=\"#\">Renew consent<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep your speed down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>International drivers are overrepresented among speeding fines in Norway.

type=\"button\"><strong>Is it safe to drive in Northern Norway?<\/strong><\/button><\/h3><p class=\"vnn-faq__answer\">Yes. Roads in Northern Norway are generally safe and well maintained. However, many scenic coastal roads are narrow and winding, so drivers should reduce their speed and pay attention to oncoming traffic.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq\"><h3 class=\"vnn-faq__question\"><button type=\"button\"><strong>What is the speed limit in Norway?<\/strong><\/button><\/h3><p class=\"vnn-faq__answer\">Speed limits vary depending on the road. In built-up areas, the limit is usually 50 km\/h, while rural roads are often 80 km\/h unless otherwise signposted. Always follow posted speed limits.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq\"><h3 class=\"vnn-faq__question\"><button type=\"button\"><strong>Are speeding fines high in Norway?<\/strong><\/button><\/h3><p class=\"vnn-faq__answer\">Yes. Norway is known for strict enforcement of traffic laws, and speeding fines can be substantial. Serious speeding offences can lead to the loss of your driving licence and, in the most severe cases, prison sentences.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq\"><h3 class=\"vnn-faq__question\"><button type=\"button\"><strong>Can I stop anywhere to take photos?<\/strong><\/button><\/h3><p class=\"vnn-faq__answer\">No. You should only stop in designated parking areas, lay-bys or other safe places. Never stop in the road or in locations where you create a hazard for other road users.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq\"><h3 class=\"vnn-faq__question\"><button type=\"button\"><strong>Why do local drivers want to pass?<\/strong><\/button><\/h3><p class=\"vnn-faq__answer\">Many local drivers, buses and commercial vehicles travel these roads every day. If you are driving slowly to enjoy the scenery, use passing places and lay-bys to let faster traffic pass when it is safe to do so.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq\"><h3 class=\"vnn-faq__question\"><button type=\"button\"><strong>Are roads in Lofoten and Senja narrow?<\/strong><\/button><\/h3><p class=\"vnn-faq__answer\">Many roads in Lofoten, Vester\u00e5len, Senja and along the Helgeland coast are narrow and winding. Drivers should be prepared for meeting oncoming traffic, especially in summer.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq\"><h3 class=\"vnn-faq__question\"><button type=\"button\"><strong>Can I drink alcohol before driving in Norway?<\/strong><\/button><\/h3><p class=\"vnn-faq__answer\">Norway has very strict drink-driving laws and a very low legal alcohol limit. If you are driving, the safest option is not to drink alcohol at all.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq\"><h3 class=\"vnn-faq__question\"><button type=\"button\">How do i call an ambulance?<\/button><\/h3><p class=\"vnn-faq__answer\">113 is the number for medical assistance. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq\"><h3 class=\"vnn-faq__question\"><button type=\"button\"><strong>Do children need child seats in Norway?<\/strong><\/button><\/h3><p class=\"vnn-faq__answer\">Yes. Children must travel in approved child restraints appropriate for their age, height and weight. Seat belts are mandatory for drivers and passengers.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq\"><h3 class=\"vnn-faq__question\"><button type=\"button\"><\/button><\/h3><p
