Many Germans go on vacation by car, but 67 percent do not know the traffic regulations in their travel destination. Some of them are very confusing. For example, the no-stopping ban in Greece.

L.According to ADAC, more than 50 percent of Germans go on vacation by car every year. And of those who go on vacation, many borrow a car at their destination.

Being mobile on vacation is tempting, but you shouldn’t forget the traffic regulations of the respective country in the sun, beach and sea. At home in Germany there is a forest of signs, but the traffic rules are usually all clear and understandable.

It looks different abroad. In a Europe-wide survey of more than 10,000 drivers, including 2000 from Germany, by the navigation provider TomTom, it came out that 67 percent of them do not know the traffic rules in popular holiday destinations – although 93 percent of the respondents claimed to find out about the traffic regulations before driving abroad.

The most common problems Germans have when driving a car abroad are driving on the wrong side of the road (46 percent), not knowing where and when to park (25 percent), not knowing the correct maximum travel speed (23 percent), and traffic signs incomprehensible (13 percent) and not knowing which lane to drive in (eleven percent).

No parking signs for even and odd days

The disillusionment disappears when you know how strange and confusing foreign traffic regulations can be. An example is a Greek parking rule: no parking signs with a vertical line apply on uneven days. On even days you are not allowed to park at no parking signs with two vertical lines. To do this, you first have to know which days those are. Odd days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, even days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Few of them are aware that you have to pay a fee of five to 15 euros before entering Turkey by car. The reason for this is a disinfection cleaning of the vehicle.
