Driving and Speed Limits in Sofia
Considering that Bulgaria is a typical Balkan country, traffic in Sofia is surprisingly orderly. In fact, local drivers actually do stop at the red light and respect many other traffic laws as well.
Traffic congestion is unavoidable but usually manageable during the rush-hour. The E79 route is typically jammed Fridays and Sundays afternoon/night (especially during the summer)as many people are heading to the countryside or to the Black Sea. Navigation in Sofia, Bulgaria is made harder by the fact that all street names are in Cyrillic only. Roads are decent but drive carefully as you are still likely to run into several potholes anyway.
In case of an accident (even minor one) the police must be called.
