Driving:
Same as in the UK-
left hand side of the road. International traffic
signs are in use. General speed limit on normal
roads is 80 km (50 mph) unless a lower limit is
indicated. The limit on Motorways is 100 km (60
mph). Seat belts for front seat passengers are
compulsory and children under five must not sit in
the front passenger seat. Being in charge of a motor
vehicle or pedal cycle with alcohol concentration
above the prescribed limit is an offence.
Driving License:
Visitors with a valid International license or their
National license are allowed to drive in Cyprus (If
you forget to bring it a fax would do!). The Green
Insurance card is not acceptable and the law
requires at least a Third Party cover issued by an
authorized motor insurance company based in Cyprus.
Petrol:
Any fuel including unleaded can be bought from any
petrol station, most operating a 24 hour service
(automatic vending machines accepting notes and most
major credit cards). It is sold by the litre and
although the price fluctuates, it is substantially
cheaper than the UK.
Parking:
You can find municipal and private parking
facilities all over Cyprus. To park on the road note
that a double yellow line means prohibited parking
at all times and a single yellow line allows stops
only for loading or unloading. |
