Roadways
Barbados has a very good highway system of main roads radiating from Bridgetown. These are known by numbers 1 to 7, starting with the H1 which heads due north. The numbering continues sequentially in a clockwise direction, thus. Other highways known by name are: the Ermie Bourne Highway, the Ronald Mapp Highway, the A. B. C. Highway (Adams/Barrow/Cummins) and Spring Garden Highway, which is part of the annual Grand Kadooment Day celebrations route.
Driving in Barbados is on the left-hand side of the road, just as in almost every other Commonwealth countries. The national speed limit is generally 60 km/h (37 mph) on minor roads and 80 km/h (55 mph) on the highways, however in certain areas the speed limit may be lowered. Lower speed areas will be posted.
Most major traffic junctions consist of 2-lane roundabouts. Vehicles in the roundabout have the right of way. The traffic moves in clockwise direction.
In 2010, an assessment released by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) of the United Kingdom, ranked Barbados 6th in the world, and the top spot in the Western Hemisphere for road network density.
