Driving rules in Mauritius

People drive on the left-hand side of the road in Mauritius. You may need some time to get accustomed to it if you’re coming from a country where people drive on the right-hand side of the road.

Speed limitations are of 40 kmh in agglomerations and 80 kmh on main roads. You need to drive carefully in Mauritius due to shortages of road signs etc.
