Ride on the Right Side
In Curaçao, we drive on the right-hand side of the road. If you’re coming from a country where this is different, take it slow at first and get used to turning and entering traffic the local way.
Don’t forget sunscreen!
- Even with wind cooling you, UV rays still hit exposed skin—face, neck, ears, hands—while riding
- Use a water‑ and sweat‑resistant sunscreen (SPF 30+), applied before your ride and re-applied every 2–4 hours
- Keep a small tube handy in your jacket pocket or tank bag for mid-ride touch-ups
- Bottom line: Apply, reapply, repeat—cover exposed skin before riding, stash sunscreen nearby, and reapply often. Ride safe and sun-smart!
Watch Out for Speed Bumps ("Drempels")
These little devils appear unexpectedly in neighborhoods and near schools. Some are unmarked and steep, so always keep an eye on the road surface and reduce speed when entering local areas.
Hydration is a Must
Our tropical sun can be brutal, especially when riding. Pack water, wear breathable clothes, and take breaks in shaded spots. Don’t wait to feel thirsty—hydrate often!
Standard Rule on Curaçao Roundabouts
Vehicles already on the roundabout have priority over entering traffic.
At Rontonde Zegu (near Hato Airport, Iguana on circle), traffic traveling directly between Otro Banda and Westpunt has built-in priority both ways:
Whether you’re heading from Otro Banda to Westpunt or making the return trip from Westpunt to Otro Banda, vehicles on that specific route always have priority regardless of where they are on the roundabout.
This is unlike standard roundabouts (where traffic already on it has priority when entering), and it’s also different from places with no signage (yield-to-right). Zegu is uniquely set up so that the flow between these two directions is continuously protected.
Park like a Local
Motorcycles can park in more flexible spots than cars, but always respect sidewalks, ramps, and store entrances. At beaches or restaurants, look for shaded, safe areas to park your Harley.
