Essential Traffic Rules in Tajikistan

Driving in a new country can be overwhelming, especially if you are not familiar with the local traffic rules. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the traffic rules in Tajikistan before your visit. Keep in mind that the roads in Tajikistan are mostly unpaved and in poor condition. Make sure you are prepared with a map and your international driver’s license for Tajikistan. Here are some key traffic rules in Tajikistan that you should remember while navigating the roads.

Driving under the influence is punishable

It is prohibited to drive under the influence in Tajikistan, as in most countries. Tajikistan enforces a zero-tolerance policy against driving under the influence, with the legal alcohol limit being 0 mg per 100 ml of blood. Given the current traffic situation in Tajikistan, driving under the influence can lead to accidents or even fatalities. Avoiding driving under the influence can help prevent accidents. If you want to avoid issues with the local police, refrain from drinking alcohol before driving.

Wearing a seat belt is mandatory

For the safety of all occupants, drivers and passengers in Tajikistan are required to wear seat belts. The roads and highways in Tajikistan can be quite challenging, especially for unfamiliar drivers. Ensure you wear your seat belt at all times during your journey.

Avoid driving at night

Driving at night in Tajikistan can be very dangerous. Being one of the most remote countries in the world, most parts of Tajikistan lack electricity and traffic lights. Nighttime driving poses additional risks due to the challenging road conditions, including large potholes. If it gets dark in Tajikistan, it is advisable to make a stop for the night. The local population generally welcomes foreigners and is happy to host them in their homes.
