The legal blood-alcohol limit is 0.2‰ (0.2 g/l). Norway therefore has one of the lower alcohol limits for drivers in Europe.

Built-up areas: The general maximum speed in cities and other built-up areas is 50 km/h, unless signs indicate another limit.

Outside built-up areas: The general maximum speed outside built-up areas is 80 km/h, unless signs indicate another limit.

Motorways: Motorway speed limits are indicated by signs and commonly vary between 80, 90, 100 and 110 km/h. The highest speed limit currently used on Norwegian motorways is 110 km/h, so drivers should always follow the posted limit.

Seat belts must be used where they are fitted, subject to specific legal exemptions.

Children shorter than 135 cm must use an approved child restraint suited to their height and weight. Children from 135 cm to below 150 cm must use a suitable child restraint if one is available in the car; otherwise they may use the fitted seat belt.

A rear-facing seat must not be placed in front of an active frontal airbag. The driver is responsible for correctly securing passengers under 15. The road authority recommends keeping children shorter than 140 cm away from a front seat with an active airbag.

The general limits are 50 km/h in built-up areas and 80 km/h outside them, unless another limit is signed. Motorway and main-road limits depend on the signed section; do not infer 110 km/h merely from the road looking like a motorway. Vehicle-specific and towing restrictions may also apply.

A raised device alone does not identify pedestrian priority. If it incorporates a crossing, apply the crossing’s controls and the national rules. At a crossing without police or traffic-light control, give way to pedestrians on the crossing or about to enter it. Reduce speed early enough to meet that duty safely.

Where an aircraft warning is installed, it alerts drivers to low-flying aircraft or sudden aircraft noise near an airfield or flight path.
