Page "Transport in Yemen" Paragraph 4

While traffic laws do exist, they are not always enforced.

Drivers sometimes drive on the left side of the road, although right-hand driving is specified by Yemeni law.

No laws mandate the use of seat belts or car seats for children.

The maximum speed for private cars is 100 kilometers per hour ( 62. 5 miles per hour ), but speed limits are rarely enforced.

Furthermore, there are many underage drivers in Yemen.

A large number of underage drivers are on the roads.

Many vehicles are in poor repair and lack basic parts such as functional turn signals, headlights, and taillights.

Pedestrians, especially children, and animals are a hazard in both rural and urban areas.

Beyond main intercity roads, which are usually paved, the rural roads generally necessitate four-wheel-drive vehicles or vehicles with high clearance.
