The roads in Greece vary in their quality and state of repair. All major cities are connected by wide, multi-lane highways. Small cities and towns are served by narrower roads. Many roads are three lanes wide: the middle lane is used for passing in both directions. If there is limited room to pass on the road, fast drivers expect slow drivers to pull onto the shoulder in order to let them by.
