A raw count per region. It is not a density: this page has no sourced road lengths, so it does not say any region is better or worse served for the distance you drive through it.

Wheelchair accessible, where recorded
114 of the 190 toilets with accessibility data. 261 more have none recorded, so this describes the recorded minority, not every toilet.
8.6%
Recorded as open 24/7
39 of 451. Most (85.1%) have no opening hours recorded, and unknown hours do not mean a toilet is open.

Methodology and data
- Source: public toilets tagged in OpenStreetMap, extract dated 19 September 2026. OpenStreetMap is community-edited, so coverage is incomplete, and a place with no recorded toilet may still have one.
- Regions are assigned from each toilet's coordinates. Regions the Ring Road crosses: Reykjavík, South Coast, Southeast & Vatnajökull, East Iceland, North Iceland, West & Snæfellsnes.
- Fee: "free" means OpenStreetMap records no charge; "paid" means a charge or a stated amount is recorded. Accessibility counts "yes" and "designated" as accessible, out of toilets with any accessibility value recorded.
- Not computed: toilets per 100 km of road, which needs sourced road lengths, and the longest gap along the Ring Road, which needs a usable Route 1 geometry. The OpenStreetMap Route 1 relation did not reduce to a single line, so no gap figure is published.
