The maximum speed on the national motorways is between 100 and 110 kilometers an hour. Within the urban areas, speed limits are set at 50-70 kilometers an hour, and in some cases, 80 kilometers an hour.

- Speed Penalties
There are many speed cameras and other traffic control devices in Georgia. The penalties for speeding, using your mobile phone while driving, driving under the influence of alcohol and driving through red lights are vigorously enforced.

While driving through Georgian countryside be careful of domestic animals (mostly cows and sheep) which walk and rest derelict on the highways and can cause car accidents.
