Riding in Denmark
You need understandable documents.
As a tip, it is to laminate all of your key documents or otherwise waterproof them. It is also highly recommended to scan all your original documents and email them to an easily accessible email address.
It is also worth printing off the Constat Amiable D’accident Automobile, which is used across numerous and other countries (the downloadable one on our website has English as well as French).
Are you planning your first road trip through Denmark? This Scandinavian gem is truly, and traveling by across this country is one of the best ways experience all it has to offer.
The roads are of high quality typically well-marked, and the traffic generally light, except during rush hour. When planning your trip, several factors need to be considered.
When riding through towns and cities, remember that cyclists are prevalent and often have the right of way. Stay vigilant for cycle lanes, especially when turning right.
Mandatory equipment.
Maybe you want to feel the wind in your hair (and Denmark surely has some strong winds), but in this country, you need to wear a helmet while you are on the bike.
You also need to have your license and vehicle registration certificate with you at all times, as well as your ID card or passport.
Although you won’t get a ticket if you do not have a first-aid kit or a high-visibility vest, it is recommended that you still have those, for your own safety.
In Denmark, you are obligated to keep your headlights on all the time, even during the daytime.
Speed limits.
When it comes to speed limits, they are 31mph (50 kmh) within towns and 49mph (80 kmh) outside towns. If you hit the motorway the speed limit will be 80mph (130 kmh).
Prepare for unexpected weather.
Wind and rain are rather common in Denmark, so even if the morning is sunny, bring your raincoat and cover for your luggage with you. You never know when it will start to pour, so it is better to be safe than sorry.
