Ukrainian traffic rules

In recent years more and more foreigners (as a rule from the European countries) have come to Ukraine in their own cars. It is convenient and advantageous. You can take as many personal things as you wish and they will be at your hand at any time. The tourists are able to visit the most remote parts of the country and enjoy the landscapes and historical monuments of Ukraine. In addition, Ukrainian roads are safe and have rather developed motorway service. There are filling stations with small shops, cafes and restaurants (where you will be offered the dishes that cater to every taste) and modern hotels with the excellent service (they even have deluxe suites) almost at each kilometer of the principal Ukrainian roads.

Ukrainian traffic rules are practically the same as in other civilized countries. There are certain differences but they relate to some definite vehicle categories, like fuel-servicing trucks, which are restricted to drive in some definite city streets. It means that you should not additionally review the Ukrainian traffic rules. Taking into consideration that Ukraine is a member of Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, our road signs and signals are unified and correspond to those you can see in most civilized countries.

According to the Ukrainian traffic rules:

- The maximum speed in the inhabited areas is restricted to 60 km per hour;

- The maximum speed in the residential and pedestrian areas should not exceed 20 km per hour;

-The cars should not exceed 110 km per hour outside the inhabited areas in the dual carriageways and in the roads crossing the settlements which names are presented on the blue background. They should not exceed 90 km per hour in the other roads;

- The maximum speed should not exceed 130 km per hour in the highways with the special signs (two white road lines on the green background);

- Drink driving limit in Ukraine is 0.0%.

It is not necessary to have lights on in the daytime.
