Driving Tips in California

Driving Tips: There are a few things you should know before driving in California. Speed limits are 25 mph in residential areas, 55 mph on rural highways and 65-70 mph on Interstate highways and freeways. On steep, narrow mountain roads, the vehicle facing downhill must yield and make way for the one going uphill. It is also mandatory to use headlights in bad weather and 30 minutes before sunrise or sunset.

Toll roads: There are multiple toll roads in California, although those in and around LA are express lanes. There are Metro Express Lanes on I-10 and I-110 in Los Angeles County and the prices are dynamic based on the amount of traffic and how far you drive. You can expect to pay $15.40 for the full length, but the express lanes are free if you’re carpooling.

Where to Park in Los Angeles

Parking in LA is a necessity, and there are plenty of parking garages, lots and on-street options. On-street parking is plentiful but be sure to check time limits and don’t park in front of driveways. If you want to be sure to find a spot on the street or in a garage, use an app like Spot Hero to book one in advance and know how much you’ll have to pay.
