Driving in Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands, offers a delightful and efficient way to explore its picturesque landscapes and charming towns. The island's road network is well-maintained, with well-marked lanes and clear signage. The distance between Guernsey Airport and the main city, St. Peter Port, is just around 5 kilometers (3 miles), making it a quick and convenient journey. While Guernsey follows left-hand driving, as in the UK, the island's relatively small size and light traffic make driving a pleasant experience.
Guernsey adheres to road regulations similar to those in the UK. Seat belts are compulsory for all passengers, and speed limits are well-marked, typically at 35 mph (56 km/h) on rural roads and 25 mph (40 km/h) in built-up areas. Guernsey also has strict laws against drunk driving, with a legal limit of 0.08%. One of the major benefits of driving in Guernsey is the ease of access to its beautiful beaches, historic sites, and scenic coastal drives. With a car, you can explore the island's hidden coves, visit the iconic Little Chapel, or simply enjoy leisurely drives along its picturesque coastal roads, offering breathtaking sea views.
