Sheep

Sauðfé
Sheep road sign (Sauðfé)
What do I do?

Slow down and watch both verges. A lamb on one side will bolt to its mother on the other — cover the brake until you're past.

From spring to the September round-up (réttir), sheep graze unfenced all over Iceland and treat the warm tarmac as furniture. Hit one and you're liable — call the farmer or 112.
