Driving in Førde

Car class recommendations

Speed limits and traffic rules

Much like the UK, Norway practices right-hand driving. However, the national speed limit is 80km/h on open roads and 50km/h in built-up areas, lower than the UK's. Remember, the Norwegians take their traffic rules seriously!

Parking in Førde is more of a breeze than in London. Most hotels offer free parking, and there are public pay-and-display spaces throughout the city. Also, on Sundays, public parking is free. Handy, eh?
