Driving in Nassau presents a unique set of challenges that may be intimidating for those used to North American or European road systems. The most immediate adjustment is that traffic moves on the left side of the road, a remnant of British colonial history; however, many rental cars are imported from the United States and have the steering wheel on the left, which can be disorienting at intersections. The infrastructure in downtown Nassau consists of narrow, one-way streets that are frequently congested with taxis, delivery trucks, and "jitney" buses. Furthermore, local driving habits can be aggressive, with frequent horn-honking and unexpected merging. Navigation is also tricky as street signs are often missing or obscured, though GPS apps have improved this significantly. Outside of the city center on New Providence Island, the roads open up and become much easier to manage, but parking in popular areas like Bay Street or near the cruise terminal is notoriously difficult and expensive. For most tourists, utilizing the affordable jitneys or licensed taxis is often less stressful than navigating the local traffic patterns and limited parking themselves.
