|---|---|---|---|
| Vormsi ice road | Rohuküla – Sviby, Vormsi | about 10 km | Not open |

Estimated ice: about 0 cm in sheltered sea bays, 0 cm on Lake Peipsi. This is an estimate from the frost so far, not a measurement: never go on the ice on the strength of it.

In a cold winter the Transport Administration opens official roads across the sea ice to the islands, and sometimes across Lake Peipsi. They open only when the ice is thick enough, usually 20–25 cm, and close again at once when the ice or the weather changes, so check on the day.
The rules on an ice road: drive only in daylight, and not when visibility drops below 300 m. Keep under 25 km/h or between 40 and 70 km/h; avoid 25–40 km/h, the speed at which the wave under the ice can break it. Keep at least 250 m from the car ahead, go onto the ice at least two minutes apart, and only at the marked entry points. Do not stop, and keep seat belts unfastened and a door ready to open.
The ends and lengths named here are approximate; the marked track on the ice can change from day to day.
