Driving in Belize: licence, roads and tolls

Free roads, a network of four highways, and speed bumps that will end a hire car's suspension.

• Roads are free and the four highways - Philip Goldson, George Price, Hummingbird and Southern - are the whole network.
• Speed bumps (sleeping policemen) are unmarked and brutal, particularly through villages on the Western Highway.
• The alcohol limit is 0.08 %.
• Traffic drives on the right, unlike most other former British territories, but the cars are a mix of left- and right-hand drive imports.
• The cayes have no cars. Golf carts do the work on Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, and the car stays on the mainland.
