Hello everyone,

Navigating roads and experiencing traffic in the USA as an expat can be a learning experience. We invite you to share your insights in order to help other expats and soon-to-be expats stay safe on the road in the USA, whether driving, cycling or just crossing the street.

Are traffic rules strictly respected or enforced in the USA?

Are there any unspoken rules, unexpected habits or regulations that you had to adapt to?

Are the roads safe and well-maintained?

Are there specific times of day, weather conditions, or seasons that make driving more dangerous?

If you have children, do you feel comfortable letting them travel alone on local roads, whether on foot, by bike, or motorbike?

What are your tips or advice to stay safe on the roads in the USA?

Share your insights and experience.

Thank you for your contribution.
