There’s a whole lot more to driving around Clam Bay than simply settling into the driver’s seat and putting your foot on the gas. Get the lowdown on a few important rules and regulations here:

In Clam Bay, you’ll have to keep on the right-hand side. When exploring someplace new, it’s always a smart idea to opt for a vehicle with automatic transmission. That way, you can focus on the road ahead and not worry about gear changes.

Finding a place to leave the car in Clam Bay is a piece of cake. You don’t need to repeatedly go around the block in heavy traffic here — and that’s what the locals love about it. There’s plenty of off and on-street parking to take your pick of.

While cruising through the streets of Clam Bay, keep in mind that the speed limits usually range from 50km/h to 110km/h. Most residential zones are 50km/h unless indicated otherwise.

One of two things will happen. Your car rental company may bill the amount of the fine to your credit card. This is the usual approach. Alternatively, it may provide your contact details to the relevant local authority so the fine is sent directly to you.

As with many places, standard cell phone usage is not permitted while cruising in your car around Clam Bay. An exception applies for hands-free or Bluetooth capabilities. Just be sure to keep your eyes on the road.

In Clam Bay, it’s against the law to drive with a BAC (blood alcohol content) of more than 0.05%. If you’re in the mood for a few drinks with dinner, you’d be wise to leave your car at your hotel.

Yes you can. But before doing so, you are required to bring the car to a complete stop and only continue if the way is clear.

Seat belts are mandatory in Halifax County. That being said, the rule may not apply for some vehicles, like those operated by public transportation systems.
