Here are a few basic traffic rules which you might find handy to know:

  • Speed Limits: Speed limits are indicated by speed limit signs or markings on the road. If there are no signs or markings, the speed limit is 50 km/h. However, on roads without lane markings or a dividing line between fast and slow lanes, the speed limit is 30 km/h.
  • Traffic at Intersections: Drivers must obey traffic signals or the directions of traffic police. If both traffic police and signals are present, drivers should follow the instructions of the traffic police.
  • At intersections without any traffic signals or traffic police: Follow the "first come, first served" rule.
  • Vehicles on side roads: Vehicles on side roads should yield to vehicles on main roads.
  • Turning vehicles: Turning vehicles should yield to vehicles going straight.
  • If both vehicles are going straight or turning: The vehicle on the left should yield to the vehicle on the right.
  • When two vehicles from opposite directions turn into the same lane after turning: The right-turning vehicle should yield to the left-turning vehicle.
  • When driving through a single-lane roundabout: Yield to vehicles already in the roundabout.
  • When driving through a multi-lane roundabout: Vehicles in the inner lane should go first.
