Residents can monitor the traffic in <a href=\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.granni.is\/\">the town's webcams, Granna<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Regular exercise is very important to us, especially in these unusual times. Residents who are able are encouraged to get some exercise these days, for example by going for a walk or a bike ride around town. A number of <a href=\"\/en\/human-life\/utivist\/walking-and-cycling-routes\/\">Walking and cycling paths<\/a> lie around the health town of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur,&nbsp;<a href=\"\/en\/human-life\/interesting-places\/\">Interesting places<\/a> which are ideal to visit are hidden away, and in the local area there are numerous open ones. <a class=\"internal\" href=\"\/en\/human-life\/utivist\/play-and-football-pitches\/\">Playgrounds and football pitches<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A pedestrian and cycle counter, which measures the number of journeys by cyclists and pedestrians with the aim of monitoring traffic, was installed on Strandst\u00edgur in August 2018. The Environment and Operations Committee has also installed counters at major tourist attractions in the Borough of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, and there are plans to install counters at more locations.<\/p>\n<p>Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is participating in a collaboration between the municipalities of the Capital Region and the Road Administration to install counters for the Capital Region's cycle and pedestrian path network. Counters have been installed at selected locations to measure the number of journeys made by cyclists and pedestrians, and it is planned to install more across the capital region to collect data, including on the growing trend of transport cycling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/strandstigur.jpeg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1196px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1196\/427;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samkv\u00e6mt teljara \u00e1 Strandst\u00edgnum vi\u00f0 Fjar\u00f0arg\u00f6tu eru Hafnfir\u00f0ingar duglegir a\u00f0 hreyfa sig \u00ed samkomubanninu en gangandi vegfarendur \u00e1 Strandst\u00edgnum \u00ed mars voru tv\u00f6falt fleiri en&nbsp;\u00e1 sama t\u00edma \u00e1 s\u00ed\u00f0asta \u00e1ri.
