Driving in Macao: licence, roads and tolls

Left-hand traffic in a territory bordered by right-hand traffic, and nowhere to put a car.

• The side of the road changes at the border. Macao drives on the left, mainland China on the right, and the Lotus Bridge crossing handles the swap.
• The peninsula is 9 km2 with dense traffic and almost no visitor parking; the casinos run free shuttle buses from the ferry terminals and the border.
• The alcohol limit is 0.05 %.
• Taipa and Coloane are the only parts where a car helps, and the buses reach both for a few patacas.
• An International Driving Permit is accepted for short visits, and hire cars are available but rarely worth it.
