There are also many tunnels connecting towns and islands. Except for the newest ones, they are generally one lane and without lights. They are very scary and dangerous to walk through − avoid at all costs!!

'''Suðuroy''' (litterally "South Island") is fairly big and different from the other islands (they even speak a different dialect). The traffic is poor, as the transportation of cars to and from the island limited. But people are friendly and like on other islands, chances to be picked up are high in spite of the few cars. The road network is not so good, so you can't really drive around the island.
Hitchwiki user [[user:Gutuater|Gutuater]] was there during the holiday called ''Jónsøka'' and the interior of the island seemed to be uninhabited; but he found two 17-years-old schoolgirls that had nothing to do and drove him around. The beach town of Fámjin with the lake up the hill is a spectacular destination (it was very hot and he wanted to take a swim in the lake, but the water was ice cold!!).
