Iceland Óbrúaðar Ár (Unbridged rivers/Ford) warning sign

Description

The roads the average driver travels on every day nearly always include bridges or culverts over every stream they cross. However, these means of separating cars from water are, unfortunately, quite expensive. For roads that are very lightly traveled and that need to cross shallow streams, it is far cheaper to simply have the cars drive through the water. Of course, there are some caveats to fording a stream. The driver has to be aware of the stream and able to judge whether the water is shallow enough for their vehicle to handle. If the stream bed isn’t lined with some kind of concrete or stone, mud will make it a difficult crossing for anything other than a four-wheel drive vehicle.

One place with many such primitive fords is Iceland. Our Óbrúaðar Ár sign is a precise replica of the standard warning sign that appears at such a crossing. It shows a vehicle, clearly labeled “4×4”, beginning to make the journey across a body of water. Below the diagram are the words “Óbrúaðar Ár”, which literally translates from Icelandic as “unbridged rivers”. Relive your journeys across the back roads of Iceland with our replica sign, perfect for your office, game room, den, man cave, garage, or anywhere else!

Our Óbrúaðar Ár (unbridged rivers/ford) warning sign is flat printed on heavy 14-gauge steel.
