1. Among the main distinguishing features of Norway's roads is their tortuosity. Signs that warn drivers about dangerous turn and warnings to slow down can be seen almost everywhere here and should be taken very seriously.

2. Most of the roads in the country are free; additional fees are charged only for travel on certain sections of the routes. Travel through some tunnels and bridges requires a fee; all toll sections have special barriers and payment points, so it is simply impossible to drive through them as a “hare”.

3. In total, there are more than 40 toll roads in the country, more than half of them are equipped with barriers. Drivers can pay for their fare in any way in a convenient way: by credit card, in cash through special electronic machines or through a cashier (if change is required). Many local drivers install in their cars special devices AutoPASS, which allow you to make payments automatically.

4. On country roads maximum speed should be 80 km/h, and within the city – 50 km/h. It is also worth considering that the speed limit on one highway can change several times and directly depends on the complexity of a particular section, so you need to pay close attention to the signs.

5. Penalties for violating the rules are quite impressive. Thus, the minimum fine for speeding will be one thousand crowns - another good reason to pay special attention to road signs.

6. A significant part of the country’s roads are laid along the shores of fjords; during a trip, motorists often have to drive through beautiful bridges and tunnels. Some fjords can only be crossed by ferry; among the coastal routes there are many picturesque ones that will be of interest to curious tourists.

The subtleties of car rental in Norway

To save money, it is worth booking a car in advance, several weeks or even months before the trip. Rental shops in Norway raise prices, relying on the dynamics of internal logistics - the number of cars remaining for the accounting period.

When looking for a convertible, minivan or limousine, we recommend looking at points located at airports, since the choice there is more varied than in city points.

When receiving your invoice and documents for your car, be sure to compare all details with your voucher. Employees of points in Norway sometimes try to add optional insurance or services without the knowledge of the client.

It is very important to accept the car correctly. Before sending, carefully inspect the car for any possible defects, and make sure that all defects found are scrupulously noted on your rental card. In case of discrepancy, insistently demand correction.

7. On many routes, special signs have been installed for those who like to drive through picturesque places. At the entrance to the road, which is considered interesting for tourists, there are special signs with an intricate patterned symbol. Also, observation platforms equipped along the routes are marked with a special sign. Road No. 55 is considered one of the most beautiful in the country.

9. At local gas stations, drivers have access to unleaded gasoline (95 and 98), as well as diesel fuel and bioethanol. It is prohibited to transport gasoline in cans if you plan to travel by ferry.

10. In every city you can easily find paid parking; it is worth considering that the cost of services depends on a number of parameters. It varies not only from city to city, but also depends on the time of day and day of the week; the cost of parking is also affected by its distance from the city center. On the outskirts of small cities, an hour of parking can cost 0.5 USD, and in the center of large cities you need to be prepared to pay at least 15 USD for an hour of parking.

11. Foreign drivers must have driver's license international standard; without it, driving a vehicle is considered illegal. Licenses obtained in your home country will only be valid if they are translated into Norwegian.

12. The driving style of local drivers can be described as calm; they strictly follow all the rules traffic. A significant portion of local motorists are students, housewives and people of retirement age, which also imposes its own characteristics.

13. When driving, it is not customary to occupy the far left lane; it is intended exclusively for overtaking. An exception is allowed if the driver is driving at a speed exceeding the speed of the flow. In this case, he can calmly occupy the left lane and continue moving until the opportunity arises to change lanes to the right.

14. It should be remembered that local drivers really do not like “racers” and cunning motorists. You shouldn’t hope that they will deliberately give way; it’s almost impossible to get around the traffic jam here, and you can only overtake if the road is relatively clear.

15. No less important distinctive feature the behavior of local drivers is their inability to drive in reverse. Of course, this feature does not apply to all motorists, but just in case, you should not get in the way of a car that is trying to reverse out of a parking space or is turning around.

16. Roads in Norway are very narrow, even E-roads are mostly two-lane. It is quite rare to find roads on which there are two lanes in each direction, and there are no more than ten highways with 3–4 lanes in one direction in the country.

17. Priority on local roads belongs not to motorists, but to pedestrians. When approaching a zebra crossing, you must slow down and stop completely if the pedestrian has already begun to cross the road. A driver who fails to let a pedestrian pass is guaranteed the contemptuous attitude of local motorists and impressive fine about 500 USD.

18. It should also be noted that pedestrians in Norway are not very attentive. Having stepped on a zebra crossing, they rarely look around, because they are confident in their safety.

19. However, the main threat to motorists in Norway is not pedestrians, but cyclists. Two-wheeler drivers confidently combine rules aimed at both motorists and pedestrians, so literally anything can be expected from them.

20. Along some highways there are special paths for cyclists; on such routes, drivers should be especially careful when turning right. You should not expect that a cyclist moving in a straight line will slow down and let the car pass; in the event of an accident, the driver of the car will certainly be found guilty.

21. Police ambushes on local roads are not common, but this does not mean that you can neglect the rules of the road. If in a row European countries Drivers notify each other about such an ambush by flashing their headlights, but in Norway such actions are not accepted.

Norway is a fairly popular country, attractive to modern tourists and lovers of everything new and unusual.

Considering the fact that the roads are different high quality, traveling will be easy and simple.

Do you need to pay for roads in Norway?

Thanks to the fact that Norwegian motorways and roads public use characterized by reliability and excellent quality, most of them turn out to be paid. Today we are talking about forty-five roads, travel on which requires payment. Of the forty-five toll roads, twenty-five are equipped with barriers that operate electronically. Thus, both residents of Norway and foreign tourists can use such barriers.

Some tourists who want to visit and travel in Norway may be surprised by the entrance fee to some cities in this country. This rule applies exclusively to automobile Vehicle. At the same time, motorcyclists can enter Norwegian cities free of charge.

Today, one of the main attractions of Norway is the arch-shaped bridge, which passes over the Idde fjord in Svinesund Bay (the bridge is located on the border between two countries - Norway and Sweden). This bridge is 704 meters long and has two lanes for each direction. To travel across the Svinesund Bridge, every motorist must pay a fee. Speaking of motorcycles and mopeds, their movement on the bridge is free.

Paying for tolls on Norwegian roads

The Norwegian government has provided several ways to pay for travel on the country's roads. For those tourists and visitors to Norway who plan to stay in the country for less than three months, the payment option using the Visitors Payment system will be more practical. Thus, roads in Norway can be paid for automatically.

In order to use this payment system, you must register a credit card (Visa/MasterCard) on the Visitors Payment website. Using the payment system does not require any additional device: when driving through toll sections of the road, a special photographing device stores the license plate of the vehicle, and the corresponding amount of money is automatically debited from the motorist’s personal card account.

Another way to pay for roads in Norway is AutoPASS: by signing a contract with the payment system, receiving a special electronic device and a subscription, you can drive on toll roads without stopping, since a separate road lane.

Self-pay for roads in Norway

For those motorists who do not use any of the above payment systems, special control points are provided at toll sections: “Mynt/Coin” or “Manuell” windows accept payment through a cash register or in machines that accept coins (exclusively Norwegian ones).

Norway can be called one of the most disciplined countries in terms of traffic. It has the strictest speed limits among the Scandinavian countries and the most serious fines and penalties for traffic violations.

Road traffic

More than half of the roads in Norway are free. The motorway designation system is European (E+number). Secondary roads have 2-3 digit numbering. Sometimes on maps and signs they are designated Rv+number.

Norwegian roads are distinguished by a large number of tunnels (there is even a spiral one!), and “serpentines” are frequent in the fjord area. To the amazement of autotourists, the road often ends up in a water obstacle. There is no need to worry, just get to the pier and the ferry will not keep you waiting.

Speed ​​mode

IN populated areas All vehicles must travel at a speed of no more than 50 km/h. If you have entered a residential area or a village with private houses, then you need to keep the speed no higher than 30 km/h. Although, you can’t go faster, since the entire road is covered with speed bumps. On main roads, as a rule, the maximum permissible speed for cars is 80 km/h, on roads with two lanes - 90 km/h, on expressways separated by a barrier - no more than 100 km/h. Overtaking does not give the right to speed.

If the car weighs more than 3.5 tons or has a trailer, it is prohibited to exceed 80 km/h, even if the sign allows more than high speed. The same rule applies to trailers and motorhomes. And if you manage motor vehicle with a trailer or trailer without brakes weighing over 300 kg, then driving at a speed of more than 60 km/h is generally prohibited.

Alcohol intoxication

In Norway the law allows maximum level 0.2 ppm (20 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood). You should also avoid taking certain medications. Such medications are marked with a red triangle on the packaging.

Vehicle equipment

Norway pays Special attention the condition of the vehicle, including the condition of the tires. In areas with heavy snowfall, it is recommended to use snow chains. They can be bought at any gas station.

In addition to the obligatory autodialing of a disciplined driver (first aid kit, fire extinguisher, warning triangle), you must have at least one brightly colored vest in the car. It must be worn in the event of an emergency stop.

Before your trip, it doesn’t hurt to check the weather forecast and remember that it changes unpredictably quickly in different parts of Norway.

Special characters

There are many “Lakse” signs along the roads. This means that here you can catch salmon or salmon yourself, buy or eat freshly caught fish.

Quite common in Norway toll roads or sections of roads. Information signs and light displays inform you in advance of your approach. You can pay for travel by card or cash at payment points located at the beginning or end of the toll section.

There are also roads included in the AutoPASS system (autopass.no) - with automatic payment points. Traffic on such roads is carried out without stopping “Do not stop”. To travel on roads included in the AutoPASS system, foreign drivers can apply for a guest pass "Visitors Payment", allowing automatic calculations to be made on all sections of such roads.

Before the trip, I signed up for a guest pass.
The registration procedure on the autopass.no website is as follows:
- indicate the details of your car;
- set the validity period of your guest pass based on the duration of the trip, but not more than three months;
- after entering the credit card details, 1 crown is withdrawn from the account.

As soon as your vehicle is detected by AutoPASS cameras in Norway, an advance payment of 300 NOK (or 1000 NOK for vehicles weighing over 3500 kg) is made from your credit card towards the subscription. A notification of this will be sent by email.

Then, when driving along paid sections The cost of travel is deducted from the subscription. If the balance on the subscription is zero, a new payment in the amount of 300 or 1000 NOK is automatically made.

Three months after the expiration of our guest pass, we received a notification by email with a list of places where we passed toll sections and the amount of travel for the corresponding section. Unused funds - 59 NOK were returned to the credit card. According to the report, we passed 10 such places. The fare was 242 NOK, from 5 to 47 NOK at each section.

The above site has a list of roads included in AutoPASS. Therefore, you can roughly estimate the total amount that a trip on these roads will cost. And decide for yourself whether to sign up for a subscription or not...
The website also provides an explanation of what to do if you do not register for a subscription. Then you can pay for road use at special points, which can be found at some gas stations or at travel agencies. Follow the signs:
If you do not pay the toll within three business days, the AutoPASS clerks will mail you an invoice (it is doubtful that they will send it to Russia, without having a database of Russian car owners), which does not include any additional fees.
