Editing Transport in Greenland (section)

==Roads==
There are no roads between settlements, only within them and around them.
There are 150&nbsp;km (90&nbsp;mi) of roads in the whole country; 60&nbsp;km (40&nbsp;mi) of the roads are paved. The roads are primary or local roads, there are no highways in Greenland.

There is a 4.5 km long asphalt road between the towns of [[Ivittuut]] and [[Kangilinnguit]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ivittuut-Kangilinnguit Road, the only paved road in Greenland |url=https://www.dangerousroads.org/europe/denmark/5246-ivittuut-kangilinnguit-road.html |access-date=2022-12-26 |website=www.dangerousroads.org |language=en-gb}}</ref>

Speed limit ranges from {{convert|50|kph|mph}} for local roads to {{convert|80|kph|mph}} on primary roads.

Some farms in the south have fairly extensive very simple roads for [[all-terrain vehicle]]s (not included in the above figures), used for sheep farming and hay collection. There are some other short simple gravel roads, such as that leading from the shore to [[Nukissiorfiit|hydropower plants]].

A {{convert|170|km|mi|adj=mid|-long}} road between [[Sisimiut]] and [[Kangerlussuaq]] was discussed for several years. In 2015 the cost of it (500 million [[Danish krone]]) caused it to be replanned as a much less costly one-lane road for [[off-road vehicle]]s. It was built in 2021 and 2022, at a cost of 25 million [[Danish krone|DKK]] (€3{{abbr|M|million}}).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://bygge-anlaegsavisen.dk/historisk-vejprojekt-mellem-sisimiut-og-kangerlussuaq-undervejs |title=Historisk vejprojekt mellem Sisimiut og Kangerlussuaq undervejs |date=2021-05-11 |publisher=Bygge- & Anlægsavisen |access-date=2022-04-10 |quote= |language=Danish |trans-title=Historic road project between Sisimiut and Kangerlussuaq ongoing}}</ref><ref>[https://sermitsiaq.ag/node/232296 ATV-sporet mellem Kangerlussuaq og Sisimiut er færdig]</ref> This road or wheel-track is of low quality and not included in the length of the road network.
