In Seyðisfjörður, the only car ferry port in Iceland, which has international ferry operation, is located. This makes the road to have international significance. Smyril Line operates a weekly car ferry to Hirtshals in Denmark and Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands.
The road passes a mountain pass at an altitude of 600 metres (2,000 ft),[2] and is one of the highest paved roads in Iceland. There are problems with snow storms in the winter, and there are suggestions to build a tunnel, called Fjarðarheiðargöng, under the mountain pass.
