Getting Around, Jersey Travel and Jersey Transport
(Jersey, Channel Islands, British Isles)



Island transport on Jersey comprises mainly buses and cars, which allow you to travel virtually wherever you choose. However, do be prepared for a slower pace of life if you travel by car, since the maximum speed limit for the whole of Jersey is 40 mph / 65 kph, although some 'Green Transport Lanes' have a limit of just 15 mph / 24 kph or 20 mph / 32 kph

Coastal pathways are plentiful around the island, meaning that you can enjoy some spectacular scenery as you stroll. An extensive cycle network is also present on Jersey, being a good alternative to public transport, particularly around La Corbiere and St. Helier. The promenade in front of St. Aubin's Bay is also a great place to either walk or cycle, with a dedicated cycle trail located alongside the main pathway.

Jersey Travel and Transport: Jersey Car Rental - Jersey, Channel Islands, CI
Driving around Jersey is by far the best way to travel and tour the island, with this mode of transport allowing you to easily reach all of the beaches and attractions, usually within literally minutes. However, the roads can be rather confusing, with poor signage, and road names often in either English or French. Drivers must always stay of the left-hand side of the road and note that single yellow lines indicate where you are required to give way. Most car parks in Jersey and in particular those in St. Helier operate a 'paycard' scheme, where you purchase paycards from newsagents, garages, post offices, tourism outlets or car park offices, and then simply scratch off your arrival time, using one scratchcard for each hour.
