Travel tips

Signage in cities is very clear with flashing orange (arrow shaped) lights will sometimes pointing drivers in the direction that they are allowed to travel. Also, on many roads that lead into a city there will be an information sign and city map (just inside the city border on the side of the road and routes to parking lots are clearly indicated, however, parking in city centers is much more expensive than on the outskirts.
