Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Local roads are distinguished by a very careful planning. You can drive on them several days and never see a road, where counter lanes are not separated by special dividing structures. The height of these dividing structures is usually no less than 70 cm. In the cities, there are many one-way roads.
This peculiarity of local roads has become so widespread that even entrances to houses and mansions are equipped with separating walls. Locals are really very concerned about their safety on the road.
Some major roads have special signs with various “road theme” slogans like «Road safety in safety belts».
