Road traffic
The network of roads and highways has a total length of 536 km. For each of the country's 57,557 inhabitants, this corresponds to 9.31 meters. This puts Northern Marianas in 57th place in the global ranking. However, the country's size and population density of around 125 inhabitants per km² must also be taken into account. Countries with fewer inhabitants on 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. On the Northern Mariana Islands, 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. Here you can also find an overview of all countries with left-hand traffic.Northern Marianas | |||
