Are the roads in Norway in good condition?

I would also add to Daxxcat’s answer that if you want to compare mountainous regions between France and Norway:

  • The roads are in much better shape in Norway (for all the reasons told in Daxxcat’s answer)
  • Many roads have a speed limit of 60 in Norway (at least in the counties where I’ve been), whereas default speed limit is 90 in France, even in the mountainous roads (although small portions may have exceptions).

It kind of depends where you’re going but I’ve had experience driving in Norway when I traveled there a couple years ago. Their roads are generally in GREAT shape. In some places they have luminescent paint/markers on the road. Part of having such high taxes, great public services. To be fair that applies to their major roads and anything around cities. The country roads I drove on were pretty good. Its the remote roads and mountainous places that may not be maintained as often.
As it has been mentioned, winter does get very cold/slippery outside of Oslo and other major cities. The rental company may have winter tires on the vehicle in that case.
