Thanks mate
On Iceland there is only one ¨motorway¨, that´s to say a four lane road, two lanes in each direction with middle barrier. That is the 40 ish km from Keflavik Int´l airport to Reykjavik. They are working on the roads out of Reykjavik to the north and south to make them wider. But thats a slow progress due to expensive roadworks for a population of 350.000 people.
Most of the roads in between towns around the country and the whole ring road around the country are two lane roads, one lane in each direction, and most of them are paved.
Then we have the smaller roads, like rural area roads, they can be paved but most are gravel.
Then there are the F-roads which are roads in the Highlands or mountain roads. That are more crude gravel roads. They have some bigger stones in them and often also water crossings and are more for 4x4
They are all part of the ¨normal¨ road network.
When you done all this you can also find tracks, that are often very rough tracks leading up mountains or the smaller/tougher highland tracks. They are less traveled but not less beautiful.
