Driving in the UK

Unlike most of the rest of the world, cars in the UK drive on the left hand side of the road. This means that when you reach intersections like roundabouts, you must give way to the right.

Parking is strictly policed in the UK - don’t leave it to chance without paying. Parking usually operates on a pay-per-hour rate, either by machine or via telephone. It’s prohibited to park on double yellow lines, these zones are the most patrolled.

The National Speed Limit on two-lane roads is 60 mph, sometimes lowering to 50 mph, and 70 mph on four-lane roads and motorways (the UK equivalent of interstates).

In cities and countryside villages (where there is a high risk of pedestrians crossing the road) the speed limit is 30 mph, and sometimes it lowers to 20 mph near schools.

Watch out for motorbikes, especially in the countryside where single-lane roads and large hedgerows can obstruct drivers’ views. The chance of having an accident is also increased due to the small space for vehicles to pass each other.
