Driving Advices for Dominikana – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Local pedestrians have literally "conquered" their priority at traffic lights and crossroads (and not only at them). They can cross the road in any place, without paying any attention to vehicles nearby. Motorists should take into account this peculiarity in behavior of local residents. In case of an accident with a pedestrian involved, the driver is likely to be considered guilty.
The quality of roads in the Dominican Republic is poor. Even locals do not dare to drive on some roads at night. Many roads do not have asphalt covering, and on many roads asphalt surface starts as unexpectedly as ends. Taking into consideration the fact that many roads are not lit, it is safe to say that foreign visitors should drive in the daytime only.
There are incredibly many motorcycles and scooters in the Dominican Republic. Their number is significantly more than the number of cars. As a rule, two-wheeled transport has no fender lights, so for car drivers motorcycles and scooters can be very dangerous. Before you open the car door, make sure there is no moped or motorcycle approaching.
Sightseeing of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Puerto Plata: topics
One of the most romantic and secluded places is Playa Caleton in the bay of the same name. The beach is very quiet, as high cliffs protect it from the wind and strong waves. Locals like to spend weekends there, but if you go to the beach on a weekday, you can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere of privacy.
Not far from the capital of the province there is Playa Lupiron with thickets of trees looming close to the shoreline. The coast has long been chosen by fans of water sports. Conventionally, the beach area is divided into two parts, one of which is sandy and the other is rocky.
Many travelers choose the lovely Playa Rio San Juan to stay; it’s considered one of the most prestigious and attractive parts of the coast in the province. The main distinguishing feature of this place is pristine natural beauty. Despite the fact that there are many popular resorts next to the coast, its harmonious and peaceful surroundings are in no way affected. The coast appeals not only to those who prefer private sunbathing and relaxation, but also to fans of scenic walks. They should definitely see the fabulously beautiful Gris Gris Lagoon, next to which originate mangroves. There are caves, as well as incredibly beautiful natural pools at this part of the coast.
