Drive on the Left-Hand Side

The first and most important rule: always drive on the left-hand side of the road.

 

Speed Limits

Do not exceed the speed limit of 80 km/h.

 

Vehicle Lights and AC Usage

Remember to turn off all lights once the car is powered off.

Do not use the AC unless the engine is running.

 

Use of Indicators

Always use indicators to signal your intentions when turning, changing lanes, or merging with traffic.

 

Road Conditions

Many of Jamaica’s inland roads are pothole-riddled. Drive very slowly on these roads to avoid damage and ensure safety.

On rougher roads without many potholes, drive slowly at about 40 km/h or less.

On roads with many potholes, drive at a maximum speed of 20 km/h.

 

Security Tips

Avoid leaving valuables in your car in plain sight.

Do not leave the vehicle unattended or parked for an extended period in very secluded areas.
