Yesterday’s precipitation and cold temperatures made many roads extremely slick. Police advise motorists to show extreme caution when driving today as slippery roads are the main cause of traffic accidents in Iceland, and remind drivers to leave good space between their car and the car in front.
The Hellisheiði, Þrengslin and Sandskeiði roads, South Iceland, are extremely icy, according to information from the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration.
Fróðárheiði, West Iceland, is currently impassable.
Steingrímsfjarðarheiði and Þröskuldar in the Westfjords are closed due to weather. The road across Súðarvíkurhlíð is also closed. Other roads in the area are covered with a layer of very slick snow and ice. The Icelandic Met Office warns of a strong gale in the Westfjords until noon.
The road across Þervárfjall and Siglufjarðarvegur road are currently impassable. Snow and limited visibility is reported on roads in the Mývatnsöræfi region. Most roads in the northern regions are covered with a layer of very slick snow and ice.
Icy roads and limited visibility due to snow are reported in East Iceland. Snow or a blizzard is expected in Möðrudalsöræfi. Snow has caused slick spots on roads in all of East Iceland.
