Hellisheiði (374 m) is Iceland's most-driven pass and the first Ring Road section that closes when strong easterlies are forecast. The road is wide and well-marked, but closures go in fast — once gusts over 25 m/s are forecast, the closure machinery is usually already in motion. Check the signs at Litla-Kaffistofan before you leave; they are more reliable than the traffic apps.
