Driving in Ivano-Frankivsk: A Different Experience

Driving on the Right

Unlike in the UK where we navigate on the left side of the road, in Ukraine, you'll be driving on the right and the steering wheel is on the left-hand side of the car.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

Driving in Ivano-Frankivsk is regulated by speed limits which are slightly different from the UK. The limits are 60 km/h (37 mph) in built-up areas, 90 km/h (56 mph) outside built-up areas, and 130 km/h (81 mph) on expressways. Remember that seat belts are compulsory and the use of mobile phones while driving is prohibited, unless you have a hands-free system.
