Driving in Argentina

• Road system: Unlike in the UK where cars drive on the left side, Argentina follows a right-hand traffic rule. Keep this in mind, especially when approaching junctions and roundabouts!
• Refuelling: There are numerous petrol stations around the airport and across Santa Fe province. Petrol is sold in litres, not gallons as in the UK, and is generally cheaper.
• Speed limits: Speed limits are posted in kilometres per hour rather than miles per hour. Residential areas typically have a speed limit of 40 km/h, non-residential areas have a limit of 60 km/h, and on most highways, it's 100-130 km/h.
