Driving
in Lebanon Like
many of the countries in the "Driving in Guides",
the editor of this website has either driven in or has
been a passenger. In
Lebanon a country visited in 2019, we do not have a full
page guide and this information
is expressed from a personal view and experiences without
showing any legal requirements of the "rules of the
road".
Brief
information:
Drive on right and overtake on left.
Not
everyone appears to wear seat belts as you will find from
numerous taxi drivers. Mobile phones appear to be used
a lot by drivers on the move.
Driving
in a large city like Beirut takes a lot of courage, however
once outside there is less traffic and calmer although
on a dual carriageway overtaking appears to happen on
both sides of a vehicle.
Although
the main highway between Beirut and Tripoli in the north
is described as a motorway with green and white signage,
it is really similar to a dual carriageway in many other
countries with shops, petrol stations and residence along
the route that are not found by taking an exit off the
road, but by pulling over to the side of the road.
You
will also find a lot of drivers use their hirm a great
deal.
There
are roadblocks outside some towns, in the mountains and
in certain towns manned by army and police.
Pedestrians
should try and use a proper crossing, particularly in
a major town or city.
Public
transport:
There are not any large public buses, only small extended
mini bus types, no trains so getting around involves taking
a taxi or hiring a car, or hiring a car and driver if
a visitor is making a long journey.
Currency:
The Lebanese Pound and the US $ dollar is also used and
both currencies can normally be obtained from an ATM.
