- Roundabouts: Vehicles already on the roundabout have the right of way.

- Mobile Phones: Using mobile phones without a hands-free kit is prohibited when driving.
Tips for First-Time Visitors:
- Parking: Aim to park in well-lit, designated areas. Avoid obstructing entrances or exits.
- Navigation: Considering Barbados' winding roads, a GPS system or a trusted navigation app can be handy.
