 Condition
of the roads are generally good (being a developing
country) and it is easy to find your way to
main tourist attractions, but there are no
expressways in Sri Lanka. However the road
manners of the Sri Lanka drivers are simply
non existing and civilized drivers would be
annoyed by their rudeness, (and would ruin
the chance to enjoy the beauty of the country).
For those who really
want to drive themselves may want to know
some local driving manners; Sri Lankan Drivers,
do not know lane dividing lines are there
to drive within one lane, never signal before
changing lanes, right of way is not followed
and do not know speed limits exists. |
Tuk
Tuks or three wheelers, commonly called as
trishaws are in abundance all over the country
and good for very short distances. There are
new taxi companies with well maintained sedan
cars operating from Colombo city and could
be used to go to almost any destination.
