Driving tips:
– Most of the time you will hear locals using “reference points” when giving directions to an address or location instead of street numbers or avenues. If you want to go from one point to the other we recommend to be patient when walking or driving, some signs are not visible or big enough. Also remember that in our country we use decimal metric system (distances are in meters and kilometers, not miles).
– The speed limit in Costa Rica is 90km per hour (55 miles per hour), except when you are passing through small towns, where speed limit lowers to 40 kilometers per hour (25 miles per hour). Please, always watch for signs.
– Distances and driving times are approximate and may vary due to weather and road conditions.
