Small differences, like Sweden has white lines in the middle of the road, and yellow backgrounds in their signs. Norway has yellow lines in the middle of the road, and white backgrounds in our signs.
As you discovered, if you have nothing to declare, you can pass through the green zone, and usually nothing happens. However, you might be stopped for a random search, hence the low speed limit. If you carry anything that needs to be declared and passed on the green, you're in trouble.
😄
I think I've heard the yellow background on 🇸🇪 signs is so they should be more visible in winter, against the white snow.
Also some difference is the material used in the road, some roads in Sweden use more red colored rocks while in Norway it’s mostly black and grey, also the forests are different, some of the Swedish forest is more only few types of trees used for forest industry and their forests are more cut down and organized, while in Norway because of regulation our forests are a bit more messy
Our little part of the world is very blessed indeed. We have it all, nature, beauty, peace and really good relations in all the Nordic and Baltic countries. Our problem is that we get used to it. Thank you for reminding us 👍❤. Greetings from Sweden.
Fun watching this as a norwegian
Yeah, same! I'm Swedish and it was indeed a lot of fun watching. My dad and I once spent 4-5 days driving throughout Norway. Our route was: Kongsvinger-Hamar-Otta-Lom-Sogndal-Runde-Trollstigen-Dombås-Dovre-Hjerkinn-Femunden-Trysil.
Despite, what we all say about each other, visiting Norway is absolutely one of the most fun things I know.
Anyway, haha norwegians dumb.
My grandmother is from Norway and every summer we used to drive over the border in north of sweden and there they only have a sign and no control at the border, and when we were little we used to stop at the border and jump between countries or stand with one foot in Norway and one in Sweden
I don't know which one of you said "Let's go to Sweden and Norway" but it has to be one of the best trips ever. Many people watching these videos that are envious. Beautiful country.
I know Dave has talked about it for a long time. From before he met Billie Jo. (or atleast before she was in videos).
The "cancel speed limit" signs means the new speedlimit is always gonna be 80, except if you're in a residential or industrial area, in which case the new speed limit is always 50.
I love American tourists, you are always so impressed by the nature and city structure/buildings and so positive and excited. Its super sweet❤
Thats my general impression of American tourists. Come visit anytime:)
❤ from Norway 🇳🇴
Even simple Norway, yeah.... Because most americans have never been outside their state.
@@captain_context9991 yes like farmers fields, without even having seen the truly spectacular views that are many places. So yeah, very appreciative and excited and its sweet to watch:)
@@mari97216
I dont understand why its so "sweet" tho. I find it more naive, and a bit sad to see grown people that have not been anywhere.
When I was 22, I moved to England to do my university and since then I have lived in 6 different countries. But my brothers back home have never been anywhere.
@@captain_context9991 well its easy to not notice things when you are used to it, and people pointing it out is always a good thing so we remember to be appreciative. I still stand by what I said that I think its sweet.
How much or little they travel is another issue. But if they have travelled here they may get the travel bug and want to travel more after this trip to explore the world.
Ive been to many countries and I think its a great learning experience, but some people are not travelleres
Yep definitely need to head that way one day I like nature it's really peaceful at times
I think the short tunnel you guys went through is an avalanche tunnel. If that part of the road is proned to be hit by avalanches in the winter, the tunnel keeps the road open. They also have these kind of tunnels in Austria and Switzerland.
Avalanche and protection from rockfall.
Actually, it is a crossing for wild animals.
If its the tunnel at 22.27 it is a awalanche tunnel. I have seen it been used many a time when i drowe big rigs between east and northwest. The older ones are scary to be in when an awalanche goes. They are often open to one side so you see thousands of tonnes of snow blow by at a few meter distance.
If you want to see real avalance tunnels and protection walls go to the Brenner pass.

Norway is one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Gorgeous. As a Swede by birth (although living in the US for the past decade) I have visited Norway many many times. A few years ago I brought my American (Texan) wife to Sweden and Norway and she fell in love with both countries: the gorgeous mountains and fjords and waterfalls in Norway and the countless lakes and endless forests and fields in Sweden. Both countries are so much more lush and green than what we get here in Texas.
Norway looks so pretty I always love driving through mountain roads. Thanks for the video Dave!
The end of speed limit sign means the limit goes to 80 km/h in the countryside or 50 km/h in built up areas
As a Norwegian, I loved watching this video, just listening to your reactions to out nature. (And I am sorry to say, it does get a little old after a while, but we can still see the beauty in it)
The grassed roofs on modern buildings does have a purpose (on old buildigs as well, but that's another story). Most building codes in Scandinavia requiers the builder to build a certain amount of green spaces for CO2 and rainwater retention as well as heat island effect migation. The cheapest way to do that is to put it on the roof, since it does not require aditional land purchase.
I've been in construction in Sweden for 20+ years, done a sh*tload of those types of roofs.
Now that's beautiful. Makes you want to leave the states. Thanks for the coverage you two are bringing to us. Be safe 👍
Spent a few yrs. over there in the late 80's with the U.S. Army. Is one of my favorite places of the 37 country's that I've been too. The -60` temp, 50mph winds in a 2 ft. snowstorm while sleeping in a snow cave. LOL Was a great time that I loved sharing with my Norwegian partner. She was great!!!
-60 temp and snow cave must be pretty far up Norway before Sweden joined NATO this year.
Now you are bluffing, or you have a bad memory. We have to go back to the end of the 19th century to find the Norwegian cold record. On 1 January 1886, the minimum temperature in Karasjok was minus 51.4 degrees. It has never been colder since.
@@ahkkariq7406 It was the wind chill but let me tell you it was FN cold on top of that mountain!!!
@@leebenson4874 50 degrees cold is fucking cold. So is 40, 30 and 20 degrees cold. Even 10 degrees is cold when you are at the cost with the storms and moisture. I grew up at the coast of Finnmark, so I know. I have never experienced below 20-25 degrees cold, which was in Alta. The wind and the moisture on the islands makes it worse, even if it is not lower than 10 degrees cold.
@@ahkkariq7406 Fahrenheit not Celsius.
What an amazing video so glad to see u guys together
Your outro song has NEVER been so perfect to the video till now.
Incredible scenery, so spectacular. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Stay safe.
Norway looks Fantastic. Dave it looks and sounds like you and Billie Jo are having a Blast. Stay safe
The only time in during my lifetime where the border crossings between Sweden and Norway have been difficult must have been during the pandemic. I didn't try at that time, luckily. But every time before that, it has almost been the same, sometimes no one (visible) looking at you, sometimes a custom/police officer on one of the side stopping all cars, having a small chat and then you where free to go. Even though Norway is not a part of EU, I think it is still part of the "Shengen"-agreement the EU-border agreement ... And it is also part of the Scandinavian agreement ... Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Fareo Island (I think) and Island ...
Positive people :) Greetings from Norway, nice video!
Black triangle at the beginning. You drive parallel to the railway, the black triangles I see there are the train signs. Later, the back is also visible on oncoming traffic signs.
Nice, good to see y'all out travelling the globe. 🗺
1:39 The flashing light is for the railway.
And the black triangle is also for the railway and warns the driver of an upcoming speed limit of 130 km/h :)
You guys rock, be safe, have fun
19:19 We usually don't eat Hakarl in Norway though... 🙂It's and Icelandic "specialty". We just eat "lutefisk", "smalahove", "tørrfisk" and such 🙂
The speed limits are actually pretty simple.
In a town or city it is almost always 50km/h and outside it is 80km/h. The 60km/h is an exception in this area, that's why it get's canceled at the end
Yup, in most if not all of Europe there exist default speed limits, usually three different ones for inside cities, outside of cities, and motorways. Only when sections have lower speed limits than those default limits are there signs indicating this. The strike-through speed limit sign simply means, the speed limit reverts to the default one for the current type of road.
All border crossings should have signs indicating what those three default speed limits are for the country you are entering.
The song in the end of this upload suits perfectly. Happy Thanksgiving Dave
Feels like Oregon in the Winter. Gloomy by lots of contrast.
Beautiful. Happy you like Norway!!! Love it here I'm Norwegian. North Americans dont know this part of the world.
Both Norway and Sweden are members of the Schengen agreement, therefore there are no permanent border controls (between them and more than 20 other European countries) and you can just cross the border crossing like in this video.
The open border between Norway, Sweden and Denmark predates Schengen by several decades. This agreement actually became a problem since Norway isn't a member of EU. There should have been a Schengen control at the border, but both Norwegians,Swedes and Danes went bonkers over it, since we're practically one country in many ways. So Norway was included into Schengen.
@@janfrodeengh5904 Switzerland and Liechtenstein are also Schengen zone members and have open borders to the neighboring EU countries, without being in the EU themselves.
@@tobyk.4911 I know, but this video was about Sweden and Norway.
I cross the border,from Arkansas to Oklahoma often.
Thanks
its so funny for us who live here seeing how you react to some of the most normal of things. it almost feels like ur suprised we have water and air or somthing like that ☺
Awesome scenery.
You found your way to a magic part of the world. You are quite safe in any Nordic country, just don’t be too loud. And stay away from ”traditional food” such as tørrefisk, hákarl and surströmming.
The black triangle is a sign for traindrivers that there's a railway crossing up ahead
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing your adventures!!!
- What's that black triangle?
- That means cavity search....
😀
Heading to my motherland, enjoy the views. I'm blessed to be a Texan, but nothing like back home where my family comes from. Probably why I love visiting Colorado so much.
You mentioned Euro Truck Simulator. It's funny driving through Scandinavia in that as a Scandinavian. Everything is so uncanny, looking so familiar yet nothing looking quite right at the same time, ha ha.
I'm jealous! I'm a driver too, and always look at all CFI trucks to see if it's you!
Of course - Norway is special
Be careful with the speed in Norway! The speed cameras always takes pictures and counting the time between the cameras and if you drive to fast between them you will get a ticket :D
Good to know looks like if I go there I will take it easy like I been doing
Norway is a great country to visit. I was there in 2018. Cleanest tap water on the planet
"It can't be that easy." Yes it can. Welcome to Norway, enjoy your stay.
I think you should register your entrance in the country somewhere.. something like that
No, because both Norway and Sweden are members of the "Schengen agreement", there are no regular border / passport controls between them. You can travel between Norway, Sweden and more than 20 other European countries without border controls. You just need to register with your passport (and visa, if relevant) when entering or leaving this so-called "Schengen area" - but not between countries within it.
Beautiful trip and scenery. Thx and b safe🤙🤙🤙🤙
I like that what slowed you down most there was the ongoing roadwork limiting traffic, if it hadn't been for that it would just have been a straight drive (and most of the time without even veering in through the border control station).
The white 40 km/h sign before those sharp turns are recommended speed limit.
You can drive them at 80, if you can do it safely. (which you can't)
Then after its back up to 80 before next turn.
I hope you and Billie Jo are having fun
It's funny you say that about that driver and the scenery. I drove OTR in a tractor trailer from 1988 to 2015 I could never get enough of the scenery like coming off the three sisters into Salt Lake city in the night is just stunning or going down the PCH into Malibu, or down I17 into Phoenix AZ honestly I could on and on. That's the one thing I miss about being a truck driver!! You're a paid tourist!!
I were a heavy hauler here in Norway for 10 yrs. It was the same for me. I miss it even tho the work were hard. Here the drivers mostly load/unload by them self.
The sign around 13:00 was for deer, the reindeer signs are further north in sápmi
Welcome to Scandinavia! The part of the world where we trust our neighbors.😁
This is so fun to watch iam from Norway 😄
Its so cool to watch you enjoying this road, I drive it a few times a year and have the same reaction everytime!
I didn't even realize this was riding with Dave! Love your diversed content!
1:40 the black triangle is trainspeed
You guys should try surströmming. When all steps done rightly it isnt bad thing to try
Never had it nor been near it but someone called it puke in a can…Lutefisk was bad enough once!
Before traveling do research on the way things work ✌️
As far as that question of whether or not there are snakes in Norway when you were walking down the path to the river the answer is basically "none to be worried about". There's only one venomous snake here, the European Viper (called hoggorm here, which literally translates to "striking snake"). The venom _can_ kill a human, but for the most part it's not strong enough to be lethal to a healthy human adult (you should always seek medical attention as soon as possible if bitten by one, though). I'd say the chances of encountering one at the time you were there would be miniscule. Too cold. When the temperature goes below 13 degrees celcius they burrow down into the ground (or find an existing hole) to hibernate for the winter. Norway (and Scandinavia/northern Europe in general) is pretty free from venomous critters capable of harming humans, really.
yeah think we pretty much only have the viper and the hornet/wasp that can kill a human if unlucky with poison that is.
Ah,but what about the Norweigan snow viper?I was warned about that by the Scouts!
Great Vacation at Norway and Sweden, you drive roads like Euro Trucking Simluator 2.
Absolutely beautiful scenery...
I have always wanted to visit Scandinavia. I envy you guys for getting to see it.
I hope your rooms are fantastic, food, wonderful… thanks for the ride along
As a Norwegian who has never been to any tall mountains ive seen some like Gaustatoppen which is 1,883M tall. But never been able to go to beautiful places like this. But yet even the very south and southwest in the oslo area the beauty still never gets old.
The ”cavity search” sign is for the railway and says it is 130km/h soon😂😂😂
It's always so much fun hearing Americans in the EU, I'm telling you two head down to Bavaria or even Austria and you will never regret it. And dude, my wife bundles up when its like 10-15 c.
1:40 That triangle is a sign for the trains which means that the next speed will be lower than the current speed, in this case 130 km/h.
Rain is a real norweigan weather :)
luckily you don't see a lot of these border crossings. Normally if you don't pay attention, you just missed the border haha
Oh i have been to that Scandic Hotel many times. Suprised that you decided to go there
Thanks for bringing us viewers with you and billie-jo I know we really enjoy your videos. I agree with you when you said that we don't have the mountains like they do. I live not to far from the Adirondack mtns in northern New York. Please be safe!
Notice the lack of double yellow lines even on narrow, curvy, roads.
You crossed the border at Eda-Border in to norway on a thursday as thats the day they have border check 🙂..I passes the border twice a day as I work i norway, but I uses a border crossing deep in the Woods as thats the closest crossing for me
Welcome to Norway :)
Think about when you cross state boarders in the US the same applies in all of schemgen. Exept for possibilty of customs in norway. The number of times I have gone over never seen a customs officer. You never notice you are in a new country untill you stop at a shop where everything is expensive.
Pretty dang cool peeps, hope y’all had a blast and thanks for sharing.
I would have had to find someone to let me drive one of their trucks though 😂
thats a deer sign! =D
12:52 I hate to say it, but that is just deer and not reindeer.
Sweden and Norway don't actually have a big customs check.
They mostly check Trucks and vans, but cars can pass without checkup.
Landscapes go in landscape mode Dave 😂 beautiful place!
Glad to see you upload more of this content!
Preatty Mountains! Looks like a whole new world down there!
Don't forget to try Novegian Salmon fish there they are the best in the world Number one the U S Salmon number two. Have fun there and be safe. Thanks for sharing good video.
I was avoiding Norway for quite some time..a man..But now I feel like its time to visit again. I miss it. Norway will change you if you let it in.
Thanks for the nice video hope you and billiejoe are having a good time over there also you need to talk to a truck driver there
Must be nice to be able to go over there
weeds on the rood XD its called "Torvtak" and it is on purpose XD
You are lucky with the border crossing to Norway. Normaly they check all you papers and dogs sniffing the car.... even they check your carpapers/carinsurance....
I cross this border almost daily.
Never happened me, I haven't even seen that border controll building they went through. Never been stopped, never seen a cop. Nothing
I want a refund 24:05 and more laughter from Dave and Billie jo my favorite part is 16:47. Dave in the wild and his side eye reaction hilarious and iconic also he looks magnificent and has perfect hair holy biscuits the views adds to his angelic self with you Billie jo also Dave the shirt really makes the whole fall vlog come to life for me You have style bro. Lol 😂
This vid does not do it justice (the beauty)
The one shock for me, as a Swede, was the signs (lack of signs) and road tolls in Norway . I'm driving 60 as the signs tell me...all is well. Suddenly there is a new sign..Not 60!!? I never understood the use of a sign that say Not xxx speed. You could as well put up a sign with the correct speed...or?
And the condition of the road has absolutly nothing to do with the rated speed. It seems to be depending on if there are houses along the road or not.
The last 10 years there have been improvements with the signs. Now you can find your way without having been to a place before :)
Speed is set as to road widt, curvature, amount of traffic and visibility. It is an insane system that makes for lots of unwanted regulation. Even the road workers hate it.
@@Speedy6617 Yes. There seems to be a couple of strange solutions regarding traffic. I got blinded by cars all the time in Norway. I couldn't understand it until a friend told me how it works, road turns this or that and you must turn off your full beam, when meeting a car.
I was used to the Swedish system. What ever the condition, if you or the car to meet turns off their full beam, you/meeting car does it to. Simple!
@@secularnevrosis As to full beams the rule is: If you come close enough to feel the lights as an issue you should blend down. This is beeing learned tru mandatory dark driving when one takes the license. In my car i blend down athleast before 500m. In the big rig i used to drive 1000m.
It is a weird system. But very good on dark back roads.
@@Speedy6617 My friend, and I, are a bit older. So if it has changed it's good. He explained that the blending down had less to do what the the other car was doing but more what you were doing. With a lot of rules regarding if the road turned, distance etc.
But if you are to blend down as soon as the other guy does it or you are and vise versa...it's now the same as I was taught in sweden.
If you pass a toll, you can pass the same toll as many times you want for the next hour without paying extra.
That area you where in when talking about moose is the perfekt place to see them, wolverines you have to go closer to the swedish border again. But up at Lesja you often see moose 👍
The fermented shark is an Icelandic "delicacy". I have never seen that in any shop or restaurant in Norway. We have our own crazy traditional foods here: Sheep's head, served whole, with teeth and eyeballs and everything. Gross and off-putting beyond belief to me, and I'm not a picky eater.
Norway is not in the EU, but is part of the Schengen area. The 2 are often mixed up, but the EU is a political organisation whereas Schengen is an agreement that abolishes border controls - some countries (Ireland, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania) are in the EU, but not Schengen, and others (Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein) are in Schengen but not the EU. All EU countries have a Customs Union (including non Schengen ones) and no customs checks, though non EU countries in Schengen still have customs. Customs and immigration are not the same thing - immigration is checking passports and asking why you're coming etc. Customs is for checking what you're bringing in - making sure you don't have very illegal things like drugs and weapons, but also that they meet regulations (though regulations are generally the same in Norway as in the EU, being part of the European single market) and making sure you have paid duties and tariffs. There are no tariffs on Norwegian goods in the EU (except fish, agricultural products, alcohol and tobacco) or vice versa, but you could be bringing in foreign goods, given Norway has different tariffs and deals to the EU (which has a common trade policy). Therefore goods have to be checked. Chances are, you won't be stopped in a car, on foot or on a bus/train, but you always could be. Checks are more on lorries but there are some computer systems to make things more streamlined, as most goods will be all clear and should all be up to single market standards.
TLDR: Norway checks goods flowing between them and the EU, because they have their own trade policy, despite being in the single market, but don't carry out passport checks
Welcome to Norway!
I live like 1 hour away from Trollstigen 👍 hope you have a Nice trip in norway 🤠 sorry for the weather 🙈
As a dane I've been there in my truck a time or two
OMG I think my parents car drowe by the Scandic Hotel Olrud. 😂(They live close by) And I love your video❤️
