What are the road rules and driving conditions in Prince George?
Prince George’s roads are generally well-maintained, but winter driving can get dicey — think snowbanks the size of hockey rinks. Make sure you choose a car rental that has the option of winter tires if you’re visiting during the colder months. Remember, the speed limit in town is usually 50 km/h, but keep an eye out for airport signs and construction zones where it drops. Oh, and don’t forget your driver’s license requirements — no one wants a surprise stop from the Mounties, so keep a valid license with you at all times.

Parking in Prince George is generally a breeze — no parallel parking nightmares here. The town centre has plenty of metered spots and public lots, while attractions like Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park and Exploration Place offer free parking.
