The easiest way to get around Florida is on their expressway system, which is similar to the UK's motorways or Germany's Autobahn, but speed restrictions will be lower.

The expressways stretch for 450 miles and you will find frequent  tolls on these roads, so always have plenty of change to hand.

Normally, at the tolls, you will pick up a ticket at one end and then pay for it at the other.  Be aware that if you reach the other end in a really short space of time, which means you have broken the speed limit, this will appear on your ticket and you could be fined, so watch your speed.

If you intend to do a lot of driving around Florida make sure you have plenty of stops and don't drive if you are feeling drowsy.  There's lot of stops on the expressway where you can take a break of sleep over.

If you require the emergency services the contact number for Police, Fire and Ambulance is 911

For police help that is not urgent call 625 5011
