Driving in Ireland is mostly relaxed and straightforward. The road system has undergone a large-scale road improvement, which has made driving there quicker and easier.
Road distances are indicated in kilometres on green sign posts, although you still see some older signs which still show miles. Most signs are in English, although you may see the Gaelic give way sign, Géill Slí, and many place names are in Gaelic.
Main highways have passing lanes, separated from the main carriageway by a broken yellow line. You are expected to use this lane to let faster vehicles pass; care should be taken when using this lane as it can be potholed. Rural roads can be in a poor state of repair, and the added hazard of livestock wandering on to these roads calls for extra care to be taken when traveling in rural areas.
