Driving in Belarus
The rules of the road as our desk recorded them, native unit first.
Driving side
Right
Speed limits
60 / 90 / 120 km/h · 37 / 56 / 75 mph
urban / rural / motorway
International permit (IDP)
Required · Vienna 1968
An IDP is required, and most EU rental agreements exclude Belarus entirely.
Blood alcohol limit
0.03%
Tolls
An electronic toll system (BelToll) applies to foreign vehicles on main roads, with an on-board unit required and fines for non-compliance.
Headlights
Mandatory outside built-up areas at all times.
Child seats
Required for children under 12.
The BelToll unit must be collected at the border or a service point before using the main roads; driving without one generates substantial fines. Roads are good and traffic policing is strict. Border-zone areas near Ukraine have restricted access.
