Driving Advices for Costa Rica – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Paid parking lots can be found in large cities only. The cost of one hour of parking at such lots is approximately US$0.8. In smaller towns, it is usually possible to park a car in any available location, for example, near a hotel or some shop. The main requirement in such a case is to park the car the way it will not create an obstacle for other drivers and pedestrians.
There are some toll highways in the country, and the cost of one ride is usually US$1. Toll roads are considered of the highest quality, but they often have some small defects.
The priority of drivers comparing to pedestrians is another distinguishing feature of local roads. Pedestrians are obliged to give way to cars always and everywhere, even on a crosswalk. Foreign drivers must be particularly careful when overcoming traffic lights and pedestrian crossings. Do not expect that vehicles that move in front of and behind you will stop to give way to people.
