Driving Tips for Visitors in Boston, Massachusetts

Expect Narrow Streets

Boston’s historic layout means many streets are narrow and winding. Drive slowly and allow extra space when navigating older neighbourhoods.

Drive on the Right

In the United States, vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road. Take extra care when turning at junctions if you are used to driving on the left.

Speed Limits Vary

Speed limits differ by road type and state. In urban areas, limits are usually lower, so check signs carefully to avoid fines.

Be aware of One-Way Roads

Some of Boston’s older streets are one-way. Check signs carefully to avoid wrong turns.

Automatic Cars are the Norm

In the United States, automatic cars are common. You can hire an automatic car or SUV, but manual options are available to rent too. Always check the transmission type when booking to make sure it suits your preference.
