Mauritius has a good road system which consist of the following main types of roads: motorway, main roads and secondary roads. The motorway consist of the following, passing through the main towns and villages :
- M1: connects the SSR Airport (South part of the island) to Port Louis Capital city (North West of the island)

Driving Tips in Mauritius
There are some important guidelines to consider while driving in Mauritius. Similar to the British Driving system, in Mauritius we drive on the left and give way to the traffic coming from the right.
In line with our well maintained road system, it is easy to drive around the island. The main towns of the island, including Port Louis, Ebene and Rose Hill, have heavy traffic during peak hours (in the morning from 08h00 to 09h00 and in the afternoon from 16h00 to 18h00). For the other parts of the island, the traffic is fluid.
Furthermore, gas stations are located in different parts of the island thus making it easier for you to fill your car tank in whatever region you are. They usually operate from 05h00 to 23h00 and most of them accept payment by debit/credit cards. Some of them even operate 24 hours a day. The price of fuel is set by the Government of Mauritius and it varies from MUR 49.00/Litre to MUR 51.00/Litre (EUR 1,30/ USD 1,50) approximately.
Road Safety Measures
The speed limit on the road ranges from 30 to 50 km/h in town and on secondary roads. On the motorway, the speed limit varies between 60 and 110 km/h depending on different areas. Several speed cameras have been installed along our roads so as to ensure that the speed limit are being observed. It is compulsory for both the driver and passengers to wear their seatbelt during their trip. Smoking is not allowed if there are more than one person in the vehicle (including the driver). Also, the vehicle you are driving must be equipped with a Warning Triangle, a chalk and a fire extinguisher. Exotic Holiday (Mauritius) provides our partners vehicles which are already well equipped with all the above mentioned items.
