Road safety in Malta

Cheryl

Hello everyone,

Navigating roads and experiencing traffic in Malta as an expat can be a learning experience. We invite you to share your insights in order to help other expats and soon-to-be expats stay safe on the road in Malta, whether driving, cycling or just crossing the street.

Are traffic rules strictly respected or enforced in Malta?

Are there any unspoken rules, unexpected habits or regulations that you had to adapt to?

Are the roads safe and well-maintained?

Are there specific times of day, weather conditions, or seasons that make driving more dangerous?

If you have children, do you feel comfortable letting them travel alone on local roads, whether on foot, by bike, or motorbike?

What are your tips or advice to stay safe on the roads in Malta?

Share your insights and experience.

Thank you for your contribution.

@superluigis As a pedestrian , you better watch out while walking on the roads or even in the towns you can be run over by one of these maltese drivers, no kidding

GozoMo

Driving standards here are poor, drive in the middle of the roads, don't signal and double park even outside the police station.  You have to be careful using the crossings as a pedestrian, quite often you are ignored.  We were both

nearly ran over crossing one although the driver was very apologetic.  The roads in Gozo are in a bad state not many nice smooth ones.
