Traffic rules

Traffic rules Morocco

General:

In the northeast of Morocco, the road network is still the best developed, while south and east of the Atlas Mountains is more likely to have sandy roads, which are still very curvy. Half of the 62,000 kilometres of roads are asphalted. Be careful at traffic lights, they often do not work and traffic is regulated by a policeman at the crossing. Many roads are toll roads and the fee can be paid on the spot. Traffic coming from the right always has priority, even on roundabouts.

Driving licence:

An international driver’s license is required.

Promise limit:

All over Morocco there is an absolute ban on drinking and driving, i.e. the 0.0 per mille limit. Violations are punished extremely strictly.

Fines:

Red light: from 40 euros
Not wearing a seat belt: from 10 euros
Making a phone call without a hands-free device: 270 euros
Speeding 27 euros – 630 euros

Other:

Similar traffic rules apply as everywhere else in Europe. Speed limits are 50 km/h in cities, 60 km/h in smaller towns, 100 km/h on rural roads and 120 km/h on the motorway.
