Driving in Japan – Things to Remember

While Japan drives on the left, like the UK, there are also key differences in signage and road rules to be aware of. For instance, traffic lights are placed horizontally across the road rather than vertically.

• Speed limits typically range from 40-50 km/h in urban areas, 50-80 km/h on suburban roads, and up to 80-100 km/h on expressways.
• Be aware of pedestrians, as they often cross roads at green lights.
• Drinking and driving is strictly prohibited. Japan’s legal limit is far less than the UK, so even one drink could put you over the limit.
