Driving Tips for Liverpool
When you rent a car in Liverpool, you give yourself the freedom to explore the city your way. Driving around Liverpool is relatively straightforward:
- Speed limits: The speed limits in Liverpool are clearly signposted and can range from 30 mph or even lower in built-up areas to 70 mph on motorways and highways.
- Parking: Most parking in Liverpool is pre-paid or metered. However, there are some areas where you can find free parking spaces, especially on evenings and weekends, such as parts of the Baltic Triangle. Always double-check the signs before you park to avoid unexpected fines.
- One-way streets: One of the hardest parts of navigating Liverpool can be getting to grips with the numerous one-way systems. Add GPS to your Liverpool car hire booking to help you navigate in real-time.
- Fog lights: Proximity to the coast means Liverpool is prone to fog – UK law mandates the use of fog lights whenever visibility drops below 100 metres. Remember to switch them off once visibility improves so you don’t dazzle other drivers.
