Road development in Estonia has not yet caught up with the economic growth of the country. As such many roads are narrow, with heavy traffic congestion and there are a lot of road works taking place on an on-going basis.

City Driving

• Road conditions in Estonia vary. In towns the roads can suffer from potholes, while main roads outside the towns are generally in good condition

• Visitors should, however, be prepared for traffic jams

Country Driving

• The surface on secondary roads and those in more rural areas is covered with gravel or sand

• Extra care should also be taken especially if driving late in the evening as visibility is normally quite poor
