Road traffic

The network of roads and highways has a total length of 9,592 km. For each of the country's 1.53 million inhabitants, this corresponds to 6.29 meters. This puts Trinidad and Tobago in 88th place in the global ranking. However, the country's size and population density of around 297 inhabitants per km² must also be taken into account. Countries with fewer inhabitants in the same or even larger area naturally achieve quite different values here and have to connect remote areas to the transport network despite a smaller population.

With an average of 177 traffic fatalities per year (2013 - 2019), road traffic in Trinidad and Tobago is considered reasonably safe. This corresponds to 12.1 accident fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants per year. By comparison, this figure is 12.3 in the USA and 17.0 worldwide.

In Trinidad and Tobago, left-hand traffic is the rule on the roads, i.e. you drive in the left lane and overtake on the right. Oncoming traffic comes to meet you on the right side. Here you can also find an overview of all countries with left-hand traffic.
