Driving in Jordan: Rules, Tips, and What to Expect

Driving in Jordan is on the right-hand side of the road, just like in most of the world, and road signs are typically written in both Arabic and English, making navigation easier for foreign visitors.

Speed limits vary by road type: usually 30-50 km/h within cities, and up to 110 km/h on intercity highways. Pay close attention to signage, as speed limits can change suddenly near small towns.

A common local habit is for drivers to flash their hazard lights to signal their intent to overtake you or to warn you of a hazard ahead — don't take it as rude, it's just part of local road culture.

Finally, always keep a copy of your license and the car's documents with you while driving, as you may come across routine security checkpoints on main roads, especially near the entrances to major cities.
