Local Transporation

Transportation, Uruguay

While on vacation there would it difficult for me to rent a car or should I leave the driving up to a local? Are the roadways especially crowded or is traffic decent enough for a non resident to drive without causing too much trouble? LOL

No trackbacks.

I think the roads between cities are exceptionally sane. The trucks go the speed limit and there is no problem passing them. Other drivers certainly don't obey the speed limit signs.

Some places you need to watch out for bicyclists. In Montevideo, traffic can be heavy at certain times of day. Most intersections don't have stop signs and many roads are one way.

The intercity bus service is exceptional and inexpensive so I think you'd find that a better way to enjoy the country.

No stop signs? Yep I think I would stick with the bus or possible a taxi. I couldn't imagine trying to drive around right off the bat.

Comment #3 Sweet Angel from cloud nine -

I agree with ribbon. It does seem a little daunting. If the bus service is exceptional and inexpensive, might as well leave the driving to it. Then you're less likely to get lost too.
