- Pedestrians and cyclists: At crosswalks and intersections, pedestrians and bicyclists hold priority, whether the crosswalk is designated or not.
- U-turns: U-turns are permitted by law, provided you have clear visibility of at least 500 feet in both directions.
- Speed limits: In urban areas, speed limits typically range from 25 to 35 mph, while on highways, speeds can reach 60 to 70 mph.
