Essential Guide to Driving in Kigali
Driving in Kigali is safe and the roads are the best in East Africa, but there are important rules to know.
- Drive on the Right: Traffic flows on the right-hand side of the road.
- Strict Speed Limits: This is critical. The speed limit in most of Kigali is 40 km/h. On highways outside the city, it is 60 km/h.
- Speed Cameras: Kigali and all major highways are monitored by new, highly effective speed cameras. Fines are issued automatically. Do not speed.
- Motorcycles (Motos): Be aware of motorcycle taxis (“motos”). They are everywhere. Always check your mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes.
- Parking: Kigali uses a digital parking system in the city center (CBD). You pay via a mobile app or a local E-parking agent.
- Roundabouts: Give way to traffic already in the roundabout (coming from your left).
