Single-lane bridges
Einbreið brú
Hundreds of bridges on Route 1 are only one car wide. There is no light — it is all about who gets there first.
How it works
The bridge carries one lane. Whoever reaches it first crosses first; the other driver waits at the approach. Simple, but only if both drivers judge it early.
Reading it early
Slow down well before the bridge so you have time to see oncoming traffic. If the other car is clearly closer, stop and wait. A flash of headlights usually means "go ahead".
