Warning · A29.11
Soft shoulder
Ótryggur vegkantur
What do I do?
The road edge here won't carry a car's weight. Don't pull over for photos — keep going until you find a marked pull-out or car park.
Roads sit on raised embankments of loose fill, and the edge can give way and tip a vehicle down the bank, especially a loaded camper. Stopping on the roadside is illegal in Iceland anyway; this sign marks places where it's also physically risky.
The words on the sign
vegkantur — road edge, shoulder
ótryggur — unreliable, unsafe
