Cypriots drive on the left and road signs are in English as well as Greek in the south. Distances and speed limits are in kilometres – 100 kmph (60 mph) on motorways, 80 kmph (50 mph) on most other roads and 50 kmph (30 mph) unless otherwise indicated in built-up areas. There are on the spot fines for speeding and for failing to wear seatbelts. Drink-driving (more than 39 micrograms per 100ml) is a criminal offence, as is using a mobile phone while driving.
Driving around Cyprus can be difficult for the misinformed. A detailed map of Cyprus is available from the airport or from tourist information centers.
Using front seatbelt is compulsory. If you plan on bringing your children for your Cyprus holidays, do not let them sit in the front seat of the car if they are 5 years and below.
Parking is very cheap and in the major towns there are ample parking space everywhere. Roads are given a scale of rating: like the A used in motorways and the B used in main roads. E and F roads are not so good in terms of quality.
