Route 41 is quite long, though, stretching from Reykjavík to Reykjanesbær, around 40km.
But most part is a simple 2 lane road.

And 40km is pretty short in ETS2.

You won't get all the towns. And I'm making them as correct as possible, but there's a very limited amount of snowy models available.
and remember that the roads are not wide..
99% of the roads will be standard 2-lane roads. Unfortunately there's very limited possibilities for any smaller roads. We're still struggling with the 1-lane bridges in Iceland, since AI traffic doesn't know how to handle those. We've been thinking about tinkering with the roadworks prefab, but that's no easy task.

Meanwhile, Iceland is being sprinkled with traffic signs;

I like that bridge shot and the town pictures too. However, that tunnel feels quite... forced. More so than usual. Still, looking very good and I'm happy to see some inter-city routes being built. You work fast! :D

I still have to sprinkle that part with more rocks. The tunnel will have more rocks in its surrounding. I started placing the necessary rocks to hide the tunnel sides and any holes that existed in the terrain. :P

Hi purno,
So far it looks very good! But sadly because of all that snow it looks a bit empty, but I am sure you will fill this up.

How about some snowmen? :lol:

Or some seals and walrusses? -they have those over there, but I don't know if they go near towns/roads.
"You know you've played too much ETS2 when..." :lol: :P

Because snow covers most stuff on the ground? :P
There's barely any trees in Iceland, the climate just is too rough for them.

If you get me the models, I'll add them. :lol:

Sprinkled some more rocks around the tunnel, but yet more to come. Does this side of the tunnel still feels "quite... forced"? :P

To give an impression of the whole part of the road (which still needs more details).

At the bottom of the image you see the tunnel. The western entrance hasn't had additional rock-sprinkling yet and still looks like the screenshot I posted earlier. The north-eastern entrance has had the rock-sprinkling-treatment and is shown in the screenshot above. ;)
