Driving in Tunisia

Driving Rules and Regulations

Tunisia drives on the right-hand side of the road, in contrast to the UK where driving is on the left. Before embarking on your journey, make sure you are comfortable with this change.

Seat belts are compulsory for all passengers, and children under the age of 12 must sit in the back seat. It's also worth noting that you'll have to carry your driving license, insurance documents and car rental contract with you at all times.

Speed Limits and Traffic Signs

Speed limits in Tunisia are generally 50 km/h within towns, 90 km/h outside of towns and 110 km/h on motorways.

In contrast to the UK's miles, distances and speed limits are indicated in kilometres in Tunisia. Traffic signs are internationally recognized and they are written in both Arabic and French, so take your time to familiarise yourself with these signs.
