Travelling in
Faroe Islands
Driving is on the right and most
road signs follow international
standards. The use of seat belts
is required. The speed limit is
80 kph (50 mph) and 50 kph (30
mph) in the towns and villages.
With the sheep population larger
than the human, accidents happen
frequently. If you collide with
a sheep, immediately contact the
police in Torshavn (351448) for
assistance.
Some 80% of the population in
the islands is connected by
under-ocean tunnels, bridges,
and causeways which bind the
three largest islands and three
other large islands to the
northeast together, while the
other two large islands to the
south are connected with new
fast ferries. There are good
roads that lead to every village
in the islands, except for seven
of the smaller islands that only
have one village each. |
