Car Rental Driving Tips for Portugal
Here are a few heads-up so that the drivers who are going to drive on Portugal roads for the first time will not get surprises while zooming around in their Porto Airport car rentals:
- Slip Roads: It has been seen that the slip roads in Portugal are very short; hence, take a mental note that you have to slow down every time a slip comes your way so that you can handle the tight bend.
- Zebra crossings: Zebra crossings are often on junctions, which will not give you enough time to slow down in case someone decides to cross the road at the last moment, so try to keep your speed in check.
- White Lines: While on the road, it is illegal to cross the white lines, especially if there are double white lines. The presence of double white lines on your left means that you can't turn that way, you will have to take the right turn and drive till the next roundabout where you can change the direction.
- Roundabouts & lanes: Though the roundabouts in Portugal have lanes, it is rare that people use them properly. In case you are doubtful, do what everyone else is doing, and stick to the outside lane until you find the exit.
- Indicators: You will be surprised to know that in Portugal, people never use indicators. So don’t be surprised to see cars making turns without indicating their intended path, it is quite a common occurence.
- Signs: Portugal has proper signs, but most of them are located on the hidden side of the buildings. And to one's shock, it has been observed that in Portugal all the streets in a given locality bear the same name, which confuses the people a lot. So the best solution is to rent a GPS .
