Driving Tips for Olbia
You'll come across a few local quirks driving around the city and surrounds. Before you book car rental in Olbia, make a note of some things you need to pay attention to:
- Single-lane bridges: You'll encounter small bridges on the minor roads in the areas surrounding Olbia. Slow down as you approach, as the roads often narrow to one lane to cross them. Watch out for oncoming traffic and be prepared to give way.
- Automatic cars are easier: When you rent a car in Olbia, you'll find yourself driving on the right-hand side of the road. To make things easier, hire an automatic vehicle so you don't have to change gears with your unfamiliar hand.
- Be sharp-eyed: If you're driving outside the city itself, especially at night, keep a keen eye out for farm animals crossing the rural roads.
- Low speed limits: The speed limit in the Olbia municipal area is only 30 km/h (just under 19 mph). On the rural rounds outside the city, it's a still conservative 50 km/h (31 mph).
