The city is relatively walkable with the most walkable neighborhoods being Corey Square, Kalivas-Union, and Downtown.

For example, speed limits differ depending on the road you are driving on and are displayed regularly. When you see a sign with a white circle that has a diagonal black line across it, this means you should find and look at the recently posted speed has ended and you should continue using the national speed limit. You need to remain in the left hand lane/ Lane 1 all the time unless you are overtaking another car. If you drive in the central zone while in London, you must pay the congestion charge.
