Your score is

The province’s maximum speed limit is 90 km/h on highways and 50 km/h on city streets. However, speed limits may vary in some areas, so drivers must watch for posted signs. PEI follows the traditional driving system of Canada, where cars drive on the right side of the road. Moreover, driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or other intoxicating substances is strictly prohibited and may result in fines or imprisonment. It is also mandatory to wear a seatbelt – failure to do so may lead to a fine. As with any other place, PEI’s roadways have unique hazards, and drivers should be cautious of cyclists, wildlife, and pedestrians. Understanding and following the traffic and road rules is essential when driving in PEI to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
