ПДР і штрафи

In Jordan, driving is on the right side of the road. Speed limits are generally 60 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on rural roads, and 110-120 km/h on highways, but always observe posted signs. The legal alcohol limit for drivers is very strict, effectively zero (0.00%). Seatbelts are mandatory for all occupants. Child seats are not legally enforced for all ages, but it is highly recommended for safety, especially for young children.

Парковки

Parking in Amman can be challenging in busy downtown areas. Paid street parking is common, often managed by attendants (known as 'sa'is') who will collect a small fee. Look for designated parking lots or garages, especially near popular attractions and shopping centers. Outside of central areas, free street parking is often available, though it might require some searching.

Заправки

Fuel stations are widely available throughout Amman and on major routes across Jordan. Both unleaded gasoline and diesel are common. Prices are regulated by the government and are generally consistent across stations. Payment is typically in Jordanian Dinars (JOD), and credit cards are accepted at most larger stations, though it's wise to carry some cash.

Яке авто обрати

For navigating Amman's hilly terrain and city traffic, a compact or mid-size sedan with an automatic transmission is often sufficient and easier to maneuver. If you plan to explore more rural areas, particularly those with unpaved roads leading to sites like Wadi Rum (though the main roads are good), an SUV with higher ground clearance is a practical choice. Manual transmission cars are less common for rentals.
