Hey Guys, I'll be visiting to USA soon. I already have my international driver's license. But I am not aware of traffic rules in USA. Does any one know from where I can get information regarding traffic lights, speed limit of car etc? If you people have some ideas, please help me. But be true to your word, as I don’t want it to be “blind leading the blind” Thanks for your time.

cdboyjones,

where in the States are you going?

do can do a search for < DMV California > .. the road rules are on line.
the same applies for many of the other States but if you get California,
you got 99.9% of rules in the country

DMV = Dept of Motor Vehicles: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/

Here is the California handbook: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl600.pdf

Rick,

funny .. funny .. glad to see you back . and with humor.

 

Well, your profile shows Miami, Florida and your zip code is from the state of Washington. I would believe that the country of Florida would have the similar laws to the USA.

 

Just one word of advise if you are coming from Great Britain and are use to driving on the left. The only problem we Americans find in driving on the opposite side of the road while there, are in the exiting of "round abouts." (called "rotories here) It's a challange to exit in the correct lane and a "co-pilot" becomes a great help.
While in England we got into the habit of slowing so that we would be following other drivers at the "round abouts" and just followed them.
Our national speed limit on the "interstates" is 65MPH.(you do the conversion) Several states post 70.

 

Let's not forget the Bahamas and down-under.

I do believe though that in Florida and Washington they still drive on the right hand side of the road.

 

yeahhh .. if they are sober ..

 

I akte exceipton to htat ermrak.

 

Hi, First of all, welcome to US, the country that is always on the move. It is good that you have an international driving license. Here we drive on the left side of the road. Do some webs search on traffic rules and signs so that you can be familiar with the rules of the road. If you want to get information regarding traffic lights, speed limit of car, speed cameras and the most important thing, which we all fear i.e. hidden cops who can catch you any where and that too red handed, have a look at http://www.trapster.com/rl/Trapster.php.It really gets you going on the roads with a confidence. Wish u a safe driving.

 

hope this information helps you !!!

so cheers
