Traffic flows smoothly as Bergmál festival attendees depart

As the Bergmál music festival winds down, attendees are beginning to depart, and traffic is moving well, according to Einar Sigurjónsson, a chief officer with the South Iceland police.

“

Things are moving well now, people are leaving, not too many at once, and we are not hearing of any delays yet.

"Things are moving well now, people are leaving, not too many at once, and we are not hearing of any delays yet," Sigurjónsson told mbl.is. However, he anticipates that queues will form once the event fully concludes, urging attendees to exercise patience and follow instructions.

But we expect that when this is over, there will be queues and people will need to show patience, consideration, and follow the instructions they receive.

Sigurjónsson noted that the police have not estimated how long it will take to clear the area. "It depends a lot on how well people follow instructions. The better people follow what is laid out and what we try to guide people with, the faster it will go," he explained.

Despite the potential for congestion, Sigurjónsson expressed satisfaction with the festival's progress so far. "We are not celebrating victory yet, but we are very pleased with how things have gone up to this point," he said.
