NATIONAL TOURIST ROUTES Running along fjords, coasts, mountains and waterfalls where time stands still and the past and present seamlessly intersect, these routes embrace Norway and its beautiful countryside, offering domestic and foreign tourists world-class scenery and vistas. These are the National tourist routes, memorable drives through a kaleidoscope of contrasts in scenery, culture and climate. These tourist routes invite you to take a break from the stress and annoyances of everyday life and take life at a slower pace. MOUNTAIN PASSES Those who plan to take a holiday by car over the mountains in the autumn, winter or spring would be well advised to check that the mountain pass is open. Some of the high mountain roads are closed for a period during the winter, the duration depending on the weather conditions. There are however many mountain passes which are kept open all year round. For example road E-134 Drammen - Bergen - Stavanger, across Haukelifjell mountain. (This road can be closed for short periods during bad weather). The same applies to the E6 / Oslo - Trondheim, across Dovrefjell mountain.

On these stretches, which are clearly signposted, cars towing trailers or caravans, as well as coaches, are not permitted to travel faster than 80 km/hr. Generally, however, the top speed outside built up areas is 80 km/hr. Caravans and trailers without brakes and weighing over 300 kg must not exceed 60 km/hr. Within built up areas, the limit is 50 km/hr. In residential areas, usually you may not drive faster than 30 km/hr. Please note that frequent speed controls are in operation both manual and automatic. Also be aware that ramps and speed control humps are not always signposted!
