Rules of the Road |
|
This is a basic guideline for tourists and travellers to Mozambique and
please understand that the laws and tariffs are subject to change at any
time by the Mozambique authorities |
|
:: When entering Moçambique you are required
by law to wear a seatbelt at all times. Should you be caught not wearing a
seatbelt you will be fined |
| :: All South African
vehicles must have a ZA sticker on them as well as a yellow triangle on a
blue background displayed on them |
| :: All trailers must
have reflective tape on the side and back |
|
:: When travelling through towns ensure that
you adhere to the speed limit. The Moçambique speed law for travelling in
populated areas is 60 km/h, however if you have a trailer the law states
50km/h.Radar is the main trapping device used and spot fines are payable
|
|
:: Caution where there is a solid white line
on the road as officials will fine tourists when one or two wheels,
especially on wide trailers go over the middle line.
|
| :: According to
Mozambique law the traffic officer must specify the traffic violation and
quote the relevant article from the road ordinance and indicate the
monetary value of the fine |
|
:: Visitors to Mozambique are advised to
travel on the roads provided and when travelling in the areas to resorts you
are asked to respect the land dwellers plantations and home surroundings.
Many locals plant their crops next to the roads. Four wheelers especially
are asked to show respect for the locals. Do not speed in the areas where
there are locals, as many small children tend to run into the road when
vehicles approach with fright.
|
|
:: When stopping for coconuts, you can be
charged for them as many locals own certain coconut trees and this is their
income in that the coconuts are food and then later taken to factories to be
made into oil.Tourists are asked not to give the children sweets on the side
of the road as this encourages begging and possible stealing
