It's nearly impossible to get lost on the Island's roads - and not a motorway in sight!
The Isle of Man has over 500 miles of relatively uncongested public roads and many more miles of public footpaths.
Manx law on road traffic is similar to that of the UK, but there are no motorways and drivers can obtain a license aged 16. "R" plates must be displayed for one year after passing a driving test.
Douglas and other major towns all have their own taxi-fleets, and the Government is also responsible for a comprehensive all-Island bus service.
More vintage but pleasurable forms of transport are available for visiting tourists during the summer months, namely a Victorian steam railway, electric railway and horse-trams that ply back and forth along the Douglas seafront.
A number of local freight hauliers operate services to and from the Island, the largest working with agency or sister companies in the UK. These also cater for the carriage of freight worldwide.
