Speed limitation
If there is nothing in the traffic signs, means that in this zone the standard limitations are valid:
- 105 km/h – for outside the inhabited areas and freeways
- 90 km/h – for dual road without traffic strip
Note that the traffic signs in the USA differ from those in Russia. They can be just inscriptions without any conventional symbols.
Car parking
There are no problems with parking in Las Vegas. All hotels in the city provide spacious free parking lots. In addition, if you need, a parking attendant can drive your car to the parking place and back by their own. Gratuity in this case is usually 2-3 dollars. In DownTown the parkings are usually paid but there is always a possibility to park for free. Even in the centre of the city.
Blood alcohol concentration allowed
In spite of the fact that Las Vegas is associated with exhilaration, alcohol, and night entertainments, the traffic rules’ observance is strictly controlled here. Driving under the influence is not an exception. Maximum blood alcohol concentration is 0,08 ‰. If this level is exceeded, the violator is punished with a fine, confiscation of a driver's license or even the police detention – it depends on the level of intoxication. This rule must be treated very seriously not to have spoiled rest.
Traffic rules to remember renting a car in Las Vegas
In spite of the fact that the traffic rules in the USA varies from state to state, and one must learn them beforehand, there are the rules, which must be observed irrespectively of the state. Firstly, all the passengers must buckle up the safety belts. Besides, in the USA observance of the parking rules is strictly controlled. It is strictly forbidden, for example, to park a car in places marked for the disabled. Pay attention to the traffic signs and plates, which can indicate the permission or prohibition of parking in the area.
Fuel cost
Filling stations in Las Vegas are automatic with paying by credit cards. However, if there are any problems with your card, you can pay with cash in the cash desk. Note that the prices for fuel are presented for a gallon, which equates to approximately 3,79 litres. Gasoline costs about $ 3,30 per gallon. Fuel's quality is good; however, the USA is often low on gasoline, so there can be imposed some restrictions for filling.
