Road Rules

That's the best thing about traveling to different places. You will eventually learn something that you never encountered before. So, did you pay for the violations you have made in Aruba?

That's a bad experience. You have to watch out for road signs. It can be seen all over Aruba. Does anyone here know the speed limit in urban areas in Aruba? Thanks.

So what happened to you when you find out you are in the wrong lane?:confused: You must be careful when the road is wet. You must also check your rented car before you drive them. Right?

Here in our country I used to be familiar with the road signs. I have read about the sign which says:"crossroad with priority and give priority" in Aruba. What does it mean?

I would be very cautious about driving unless I knew all of the facts and local rules. I would be more likely to hire a driver or take a taxi where I want to go instead. Money is easier to come by than another life.

I just learned something new. Yikes if that was me I probably would have had a melt down. Thanks for sharing your experience though because some people who are planning their first trip like Chris and I can defiantly learn without it being the hard way. lol
