Navigating Utica: Driving and Car Hire Tips

Difference in Driving

  • Driving on the right-side: Unlike the UK, the US follows right-hand traffic rules. Adjusting to this rule is crucial, especially at traffic intersections and roundabouts.
  • Automatic Cars: The vast majority of cars in the US are automatic, which could be a major difference for UK drivers. Opting for an automatic rental car can make your drive around Utica smoother.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

In Utica, speed limits are strictly enforced. The typical speed limits are 30mph in city areas, 55mph on highways, and up to 65mph on expressways. Unlike the UK, where speed limits are signposted in miles per hour (mph), US speed limits are displayed in kilometres per hour (kph), so keep an eye on the conversion.

Parking in Utica

Many areas in Utica offer street-side parking, but even more conveniently, the city provides several public and private parking garages. Do remember that parking laws are strictly enforced in Utica and illegally parked vehicles are ticketed or towed.
