ПДР і штрафи

In Jordan, driving is on the right-hand side. Speed limits are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h on rural roads, and 100-120 km/h on highways, but always observe posted signs. The legal blood alcohol limit for drivers is effectively zero (0.00%). Seatbelts are mandatory for all occupants. Child safety seats are recommended for young children but not strictly enforced by law.

Парковки

In Suwaymah, parking at hotels and resorts is usually free for guests. For attractions along the Dead Sea, designated parking areas are available, often free or with a small fee. In nearby towns like Madaba, you might find a mix of free street parking and paid lots, especially in busy central areas.

Заправки

Fuel stations are available along the main highways leading to and from Suwaymah, including the Dead Sea Highway. They are less common directly within the small Dead Sea resort area itself, so it's advisable to fill up before long journeys. Fuel prices are regulated by the government and are generally consistent across the country, paid in Jordanian Dinars (JOD). Credit cards are widely accepted at larger stations.

Яке авто обрати

For general exploration around Suwaymah and the main roads, an economy or compact car with automatic transmission is sufficient and economical. If you plan to venture into more rugged areas like some parts of Wadi Mujib or less-maintained routes, an SUV or 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended for better ground clearance and comfort. Automatic transmission is prevalent and generally preferred by international visitors.
