Scotland's roads include a motorway network in central Scotland, with dual carriageways to key places further north such as Aberdeen and Inverness. In some areas of Scotland, particularly the Highlands and Islands, there are often single-track roads, which demand extreme caution.
Driving is on the left-hand side of the road, with overtaking only permissible on the right-hand side. Visitors should also remember to give way to the right on roundabouts. Speed limits are 70mph on motorways and dual carriageways, 60mph on single carriageways and 30mph in built up areas, unless otherwise stated. It is also compulsory to wear seatbelts (front and back) in Scotland.
