Getting around by Car

Montenegrins drive on the right, fearlessly and with verve. It is best not to call their bluff. Give priority to traffic from the right unless there is a clear indication otherwise. Roads are not always well signed and up-to-date maps are sometimes hard to come by. The best are probarly those published by Merkur in Belgrade, but the smaller roads are still sometimes inaccurately represented. Very few establishments list a street adress. There is usually no alternative to finding the town and then asking the directions.
Many side roads are single track and the terrain means there is no shortage of blind corners. Like roads everywhere, rain after a dry spell means slippery surfaces; and Montenegro has lots of dry spells. In the north in winter, secondary roads can be completely closed by snow.
The speed limit is 80 km/h on motorways and 50 km/h in built-up areas, or lower speeds are posted. The Montenegrin police have a habit of parking in laybys to catch speeders. Montenegrin drivers have a corresponding habit of flashing their headlights at on-coming drivers to warn them of speed traps. It is still best not to rely on friendly warning. Spot fines are the penalty for getting caught. Seat belts must be worn in the front seats. Most towns of any size have patrol stations, but there are not many in rural areas. It is best to keep fairly well topped up. Premium 98 octane and unleaded 95 are both 0,90 euro per litre, diesel is 0,70 euro.
