Before you take to the road in Norwich, get your head around the local rules and regulations. From speed limits to parking restrictions, here’s what you need to know:

In Norwich, motorists stick to the right side. When visiting someplace new, it’s always a wise idea to book an automatic vehicle. That way, you can concentrate on the road ahead and save worrying about gear changes.

It can be. Circling the block searching for a place to park is common in Norwich. Getting near big-name attractions is easier if you research your options ahead of time.

Since the population of Norwich is roughly 7,000, you won’t experience too much trouble with traffic. However, main roads are generally busier in the rush hours before and after work, so you may want to avoid driving then.

While cruising through the streets of Norwich, keep in mind that the speed limits generally range from 20mph to 65mph. Most residential areas are 45mph unless stated otherwise.

One of two things will happen. Your rental company may bill the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. This is the usual approach. Alternatively, it may forward your contact information to local law enforcement agencies so the fine is sent to you directly.

It is against the law to use your cell phone while driving around Norwich, and you may even be issued a fine for just holding your phone when you’re in control of a vehicle. That being said, the use of hands-free or Bluetooth functions is permitted, as long as your attention stays on the road.

In Norwich, it’s illegal to operate a vehicle with a BAC (blood alcohol content) above 0.08%. If you’re going to have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, leave the car behind.

Road rules in Norwich permit drivers at a red light to turn into the direction of traffic nearer to them, without having to wait for it to turn green. Before doing so, the car must come to a complete stop and the driver must make sure that the way is clear before proceeding.

Seat belts have to be worn in Oneonta. Having said that, the rules may not apply for some vehicles, like those used by public transportation networks.
