Road traffic

The network of roads and highways has a total length of 29 km. For each of the country's 32,669 inhabitants, this corresponds to 0.89 meters. This puts Gibraltar in 211st place in the global ranking. However, it is also important to note that the country's population density is extremely high at around 4804 inhabitants per km². With so many people in such a relatively small area, longer driving distances are rare. In Gibraltar, traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road, i.e. people drive in the right-hand lane and overtake on the left. Oncoming traffic comes toward you on the left side. This regulation was enforced on June 17th, 1929. Here you can also find an overview of all countries with left-hand traffic.
