Influence of English colonisation has caused on Mauritius was some movement. So-that, leasing the car consider that a helm on the other side. In the rest traffic usual, but: roads good, but it is very narrow and frequently without roadsides (along the edges of roads there are drainage ditches).
Sugar cane plantations.
On island the good asphalted roads. On such, country, I have got literally time and that, only because drive in group. Such picturesque road with arches from trees goes in parallel coast.
On this picture it is approximately understandably that roads very narrow.
Here is more cheerful — is though any roadside (that the big rarity).
Such avenues here and there meet also palm trees, of course, rather picturesquely look.
Bus stops frequently there is no «pocket» — are on the brink expensive will thrust a sign and passengers expect the bus directly on a road.
Such stops — a rarity. More often — only sign at roadside (and frequently no roadside).
Has had fun: reflective elements which have been built in trees. Such regularly meets on all island.
Traffic signs.
Artful sign. Local feature that pedestrian crossings are combined with lying policemen. I.e. transition is raised over level of road and if not to reduce speed it is possible to depart into an orbit. These lying policemen are designated by signs on all island, and in general with traffic signs enough all is bad. Just as on Sicilies, for example.
the Traffic sign: deer (!) Or may be roe deer.
Very seldom signs on restriction of speed come across and not clearly how many it is possible to go. So on settlements — 60 kmh (as at us), in the country — 80 or it is rare 90. There is a high-speed line between Mageburg and Port Louis — on it can be driven 110-120 kmh. Indexes of settlements and if and is, they frequently small (come across even self-made bare variants) are very rare.
Graphically signs very poor. In Russia road signs are better.
Hit: Do not put a plug into the pipe! Actually, certainly, «signal is forbidden».
In Russia such pipes-air inlets was only on extreme jeeps. But on Mauritius in downpours without such device it's not possible and not to swim out.
Bus trffic on island is well adjusted. All buses of last millenium, all are completed by drivers-Hindus (seldom Blacks). They also rush as mad, dispersing on narrow roads from such flying shed, I each time became covered by a perspiration. Also movement link sided, dimensions are in another way felt.
And time at the wheel the Hindu, the bus necessarily with various decorations; and on a cabin of the driver and even sometimes on salon — carpets, a tinsel, flowers etc.
Surfers and katers lease pickups. It's — a budgetary variant.
And now, I most from what regularly laughed: self-made (!) car numbers:
Amusing old Fiat (yes, number at it too hand-made).
And on a wheel — Ferrari emblem!
Old big-eyed Fiat. On Mauritius the Japanese car industry dominates: Nissans, Toyota and Mitsubishi. It is not enough «Europeans».
Unknown car at Hindu country house.
Is the rare on Mauritius a copy. Our street muggers would estimate.
President car?
Has shown off :)
Too it is quite good.
the Bus with aerography — the mountain Brabant, one of the island symbols Mauritius.
For me remains a riddle that it for a sign or a label «L». Came across often, but I and have not understood that it means. May be pupil. Upd: yes, on 90% I am assured that it is the pupil. It appears, for example on Sri Lanka just the same signs.
Motorcycles and motor scooters on Mauritius it has appeared less, than I expected. Like the climate more than promotes.
Mauritians drive very accurately, rules observe all also beaten cars on roads are not present (for example, in Italy or in Spain all cars demaged, because streets are narrow; on Mauritius overwhelming majority of cars even without scratches though I wrote above that roads are narrow).
As the curtain fell — classical army «Land Rover»!
On Mauritius, as well as on any other island, autostealings are almost excluded. Because island. It is possible not close car. Katers basically rent pickups and the equipment in some thousand dollars lies simply covered with an awning. Can filch, but it is the big rarity.

Car rent on Mauritius
What to me to you to tell for car rent? The choice of cars is much less, than in Europe, the rent price above. But it is possible to agree with owners of a country house (if, of course, to rent a country house) and already those will find the car more cheaply.Mauritians drive very accurately, rules observe all also beaten cars on roads are not present (for example, in Italy or in Spain all cars demaged, because streets are narrow; on Mauritius overwhelming majority of cars even without scratches though I wrote above that roads are narrow).
