You’ll have to stick to the right while driving in Alpine. Not only that, take some extra caution if it’s your first time on the road here. Once you’re familiar with the roads, you can relax and enjoy the scenery!

Grabbing a car space in Alpine isn’t always simple. That’s why many travelers search for a hotel that has its own parking. When leaving the car around the city, keep a close eye on the signage. Overstaying the specified time limit could get you a substantial fine.

As the population of Alpine is around 14,200, you won’t have a lot of difficulty with traffic congestion. That said, city center streets can get busy before and after work hours, so you may want to avoid driving during these times.

While navigating through the streets of Alpine, keep in mind that the speed limits range from 15mph to 70mph. Most residential zones are 25mph unless otherwise signed.

Normally, one of two things will happen. Your chosen rental car company may charge the amount of the fine to your credit card. This is the more common practice. Otherwise, it may give your contact information to local authorities so the fine is issued straight to you.

It’s prohibited to use your cell phone while driving around Alpine, and you could even be issued a fine for just handling your phone if you’re in control of a vehicle. However, using hands-free or Bluetooth functions is allowed, as long as you stay focused on the road.

In Alpine, it is a punishable offence to operate a vehicle with a BAC (blood alcohol content) greater than 0.08%. If you’re planning to have a drink or two, leave your rental car behind.

Road rules in Alpine allow drivers at a red light to turn into the lane nearest to them without waiting for it to turn green. Before doing so, the car must stop completely and the driver must be certain that the lane is clear before continuing on.

Seat belts must be worn in San Diego County. That being said, the rules may differ for certain vehicles, like those used by public transportation networks.
