Are there any specific speed limits I should keep in mind while driving around the island?

When driving around the island, it's important to be aware of the specific speed limits that help ensure safety for both drivers and pedestrians. Generally, speed limits in residential areas are set at 25 miles per hour, while on main roads, you can expect limits to range from 35 to 45 miles per hour. In some areas, particularly where there is a lot of pedestrian traffic or near schools, these limits may be lowered, so keep an eye out for posted signs.

If you venture onto highways, the speed limits can increase to around 55 to 65 miles per hour, but it’s essential to watch for local variations. Some scenic routes may have lower limits to accommodate the winding roads and breathtaking views, which can invite slower, more cautious driving. Additionally, be mindful of any seasonal changes to speed limits, especially in tourist-heavy areas where congestion can increase during peak travel times. Always prioritize safety, follow the posted signs, and enjoy the stunning landscapes the island has to offer.
