If you are visiting Lanzarote and driving then my advice would be keep to the speed limits and remember that the limit which is displayed miles back may still apply even if in the UK a reduced speed limit such as 40 mph would need to be redisplayed at set distances.

Cars here are left hand drive and we drive on the right side of the road. You’ll get used to it very quickly, but a couple of things might feel odd if you are used to right hand drive. You’ll find the central interior mirror feels as though it’s in the wrong place, and changing gear will feel a little odd with your right hand. If you’re concerned a...
The first thing to note is that we go around them anti-clockwise. The rules are also different here – traffic in the outside lane has right of way. That means you will often see people going all the way around a roundabout in the outside lane, even if they are leaving at the 3rd or 4th exit.

If you come to a stop sign at a T-Junction, you have to stop, even if you can see the road is clear. A stop is mandatory here, so make sure you do so, especially if you see a policeman around.

When you turn right from one road to another, you should give way to any on coming traffic turning left into the same road. You’ll see markings which show you where to stop to let the left turner through.
It doesn’t rain often in Lanzarote, but when it does, turn your headlights on, and remember the roads can be slippery if it’s the first rain for months.
You may have noticed that when cars stop at pedestrian crossings, they put their left indicator on. That signals the car behind, but also the pedestrian, that they have been seen and it is safe to cross.
