25 ESSENTIAL Driving Tips for Tourists Traveling Norway

Just a note that in western Norway the roads are winding and narrow and a lot of tourists find this uncomfortable, which is fine, but let people past. Locals are not interested in sitting behind you driving at a snail pace and due to the winding nature of the roads there often is not enough visibility to safely overtake. A mistake most people do is drive super slowly in the corners and as soon as they get to a straight piece of road they speed up and make overtaking harder.
That said, do NOT try to keep up with locals and do not try to drive faster than what YOU are comfortable with, they know the road and know where they need to be careful. Just be cognisant of people behind you and letting people past you at safe spots when possible. Overtaking spots can be rare so let people use them when they are available.

When it comes to sheep in the road, be especially careful when you see solitary lambs. Even if they are lying down by the side of the road, if the mother is on the other side, the lamb can suddenly get up and dart across the road to get to its mother if startled.

What the road authorities base speed zones on(other than 50kph and 80 kph) is whether it is a residential area and, on the highway, how many roads intersect the highway per 10 km. Going into built-up areas, there will sometimes be deceleration speed zones, taking you from 80 to 70, 60 before ending up at 50. On the way out, you can get a double sign(both sides of the road) that cancel the 50kph speed limit, allowing you to increase the speed directly to 80kph.

Here's a tip: Stay home so you and your stupid RV don't mess up every damn motorcycle ride I take in the summer

Great video. Been living in Norway 25 years. This was very good for people visiting for the first time.

Speed limit 90 km/h is not rare. There are many roads in Northern Norway with that speed limit.

This is the best video so far!
Som nordmann setter jeg pris på at det gies korrekte henvisninger som i denne videoen. Well done!

3 seconds is only the minimum recommended distance to the car in front of you, you should be even further behind

A thumb rule is :50 m drive/100 m and 5/10 min. stop to watch.

Motorways can have a limit of 90Km/h! And drive not like a snegl , when driving on a small mountain road!

Nice video 👍
