Speed limitation
Except general rules, one has to observe the speed limit. The general speed limitations are set within all the territory of the USA, and they are valid if there are no other traffic signs.
Basic speed limitations:
- By default the allowed speed is 105 km/h.
- Movement on the dual roads without traffic strip is allowed at up to 90 km/h.
- For freeways the speed allowed is 105 km/h or 65 mph.
Fines for speed infringement are serious sums, so try not to exceed the speed limit to more than 11 miles. Mostly the policemen don't give tickets by small violations.
Parking
Park a car in the island is not a problem. Firstly, almost all the hotels offer their guests paid and free parking spaces. Secondly, many streets are free for parking lengthwise the roads. Also free parkings are provided by some malls and entertainment centres. As for the paid parking lots, the cost for parking hour is usually $1-3. The parking lots are paid according to the time spent when leaving. There is also a possibility of using the car park ticket machines.
