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. |
