A recent survey conducted by Maskína shows that approximately 44% of Icelanders are in favor of the prioritization of projects in the national transport plan, while 31.6% are against it. This plan includes various road constructions and tunnel projects identified as priority tasks. The discussion around prioritization has intensified, especially concerning the construction of tunnels, as it plays a critical role in the infrastructure development across the country.

The survey results indicate a notable divide based on the respondents' locations, with residents of East Iceland expressing more opposition—nearly 55% against prioritization—compared to only about 27% in favor. This regional disparity highlights differing local priorities and concerns regarding infrastructural developments that could impact residents' daily lives and access to resources.

Furthermore, the opinions vary significantly based on political affiliations. Supporters of the Left-Green Movement (VG), the Socialist Party, and the Centre Party tend to be quite opposed to the prioritization. In contrast, voters from the Pirate Party and the Social Democratic Alliance are more likely to support it. This divergence underscores the political dimensions of transport policy and the importance of addressing both regional and party-specific priorities in future planning efforts.
