The length of the Hualfjörður tunnel, which connects Reykjavik and Akranes is 5,770 meters. More than a half of that length, 3,750 meters, is laid under water. For ordinary cars, the toll for using the tunnel ranges from 1,000 to 1,300 kronur, and for motorcycles the fare is 200 kronur.
In Iceland, there are the following standard speed limits: in the territory of settlements the maximum allowed speed is 50 km/h, on country roads it is 80 km/h on gravel roads and 90 km/h on asphalt roads. Signs that notify drivers about speed limits are widespread on local roads, so drivers will not worry about the speed limit on a particular road.

Sightseeing of Keflavik, Iceland
It is worth visiting the Duushus museum, which has an interesting exhibition about the influence of the NATO base on the inhabitants of Keflavik. For 55 years, the NATO base defended the island from a possible Russian invasion, but at the end of the Cold War, the American contingent began to leave the base, completing this process in 2006. The exhibition shows the things that Americans left at the base, including some uniforms that were left in the laundry. There is a section of the US military food base and the layout of the officer's apartment. The exhibition is regularly visited by Icelanders to understand how America influenced their culture.
NATO bases themselves were closed only a few years ago and are still in a very good condition. To prevent them from completely decaying, the Icelandic government began to use them and many companies opened offices in these buildings. There are plans to use the bases for a private hospital and a children's clinic.
