Rules Part 2
Town entrance signs are rectangular, have white backgrounds and red borders. Unless otherwise posted, town speed limits are 50 km/hr. Honking is not allowed except in case of immediate danger. Priority roads lose their priority when they enter a town. There may or may not be a sign to that effect (shown in the example to the right) with the town entrance sign.

Passing
Passing happens in 3 phases: 1. If the road ahead is clear, turn on the left turn signal and move to the lane to the left; 2. Pass on the left with your turn signal on the whole time; 3. Move back into the right lane with right turn signal on.
