If you are hiring a car to get around during your visit to FloridaExpressways ( also called interstate highways, freeways, and turnpikes) can give you a fast, safe way to get where you need to go. They are multiple-lane roads with no stop signs, traffic lights, or railroad crossings. Pedestrians, hitchhikers, bicycles, animal-drawn vehicles or motor-driven cycles and motor scooters with 150 cubic centimeter displacement or less are not allowed on expressways.

Vehicles can enter and leave expressways only at certain points and you need to know how to enter and exit safely. Expressway entrances have three basic parts: an entrance ramp, an acceleration lane and a merging area.

You should drive in the right lane and pass on the left. If there are three lanes, use the right lane for lower speed driving and the left for passing. If you stay in the right lane, watch for cars entering the expressway and adjust your speed or move into the centre lane so they can enter safely.

Never stop on the shoulder or connecting ramp of an expressway except in an emergency. If your vehicle breaks down, it may be parked on the side of the expressway for a maximum of six hours.

Never reverse up on an expressway entrance ramp or exit ramp. The only exception to this would be if you are trying to enter an expressway through an exit when you would see a "WRONG WAY" or "DO NOT ENTER" sign.
