Driving Rules in Cyprus

See ancient ruins and archaeological sites. Discover Cyprus and be amazed. Use your own car to drive from one tourist spot to another. Take time to check some of the traffic rules this country has. Winter in Cyprus can be difficult. Be sure to have winter tires in all your wheels. Snow chains are required if you are driving into the mountains. Keep your emergency kits handy in case you might need them. As long as you are prepared for the worst, you should be ok!  

Important Reminders for driving in Cyprus:

• Drive on the left side of the road.
• The minimum driving age is 18 years old. The minimum rental age is 21 years old. 
• Seat belts are a must.
• Child-restraint is a must.
• Drink responsibly. The maximum blood alcohol level is 20 mg per 100 ml of blood.   
• Hands-free is a must.
• The speed limit is 50 km/h in urban areas, 65 km in rural roads and 100 km/h in expressways.
• Drive defensively. Locals tend to violate traffic rules.
• Watch out for speed cameras located all over the country.

Speed limits in Cyprus:

The speed limits are mostly clearly marked and generally resemble the speed limits in most other European countries. The speed limits are marked in km/h (kilometre pr hour) and not mph (miles per hour), although the speed limits are shown in both units in some places. On the highways the speed limit varies from what you’d usually experience in most countries. On highways the limit is 100 km/h and every day you will see the traffic police parked along the highway trying to catch speeders. However, it is worth noting that the police don’t stop cars unless they are running at more than 19 km/h over the limit. You will also see a lot of signs showing automatic speed control. Just ignore these!

Driving in Cyprus during Winter:

Winter in Cyprus can be difficult. Be sure to have winter tires in all your wheels. Snow chains are required if you are driving into the mountains. Keep your emergency kits handy in case you might need them. As long as you are prepared for the worst, you should be ok!

Enjoy your stay and have a safe travel.
