Local Driving Guide -
The Dutch drive on the right. Because of the countrys large canal system, you will come across many drawbridges in both the cities and the villages. Be extra careful in the small towns, for the cobblestone roads are often almost indistinguishable from the footpaths. These roads can be very slippery in wet weather. Although motorways in the Netherlands are toll free, you will find that a charge is made at some tunnels and bridges. You can normally use your existing driving licence for short-term trips, but international licences are required in some cases. It is recommended that you also carry an insurance certificate and vehicle registration document. The minimum age for driving is 18. Speed limits are as follows: motorways 120km/h; major roads 80km/h; towns 50km/h. Parking in the country is at a premium, especially in Amsterdam. To park in a Blue Zone you must clearly display a disc. Where you see signs marked I and II separated by a red stripe, these mean that you are not permitted to park on the left on odd dates and there is no parking on the right on even dates. Be especially careful of the trams while driving in Amsterdam, as they are everywhere! Do NOT drink and drive penalties are severe, including withdrawal of your licence and even imprisonment. |
