Appendix 1.
As a result of the Icelandic government‘s focus to prevent illegal off-road driving and to restrict or prevent traffic in certain areas of the country, then NLSI wants to take notice of that the users of the data that has been delivered are responsible for monitoring if and when roads and trails are closed temporarily or permanently to public traffic. Such government measures reach further than information on roads and tracks that are in the NLSI databases at any time.
