Guam Traffic Rules

  • In Guam, traffic drives on the right side of the road.
  • You may turn right on a red light, but only after coming to a complete stop at the stop line and yielding to pedestrians and cross traffic.
    *When there is a “No Right Turn on Red” sign or when the right-turn-only signal is red, right turns are not allowed.
  • The maximum speed anywhere in Guam is 45 mph (about 72 km/h). Always follow the posted speed limit signs; many roads are posted at 35 mph (56 km/h), 25 mph or 15 mph.
  • Passing a stopped school bus is prohibited, including for vehicles in the opposite lane. When a school bus stops in front of you and signals a stop sign, please be sure to stop behind the bus and wait for it to start.
  • At a stop sign, come to a complete stop before the stop line (or before the crosswalk or intersection if there is no stop line).
  • Roads become slippery when rain begins to fall and in wet weather, so please slow down and keep a longer following distance.
  • The center lane marked by yellow studs and yellow lines is for preparing to make a left turn. It is not a travel lane. Make U-turns only where signs or signals allow them.
  • You can be penalized for having an open container of alcohol in the car, and passengers may not drink alcohol inside a moving vehicle.
  • Use of cell phones while driving is prohibited.
    Use of a cell phone while driving is prohibited not only while driving, but also while waiting at traffic lights or while stopped in traffic jams, etc.
    The use of a cell phone is permitted by law when calling the police or fire department in an emergency, when using the hands-free function, or when parked in a safe place.
    Violators (first offense): $100 or more fine. A fine of $500 or more for a second offense. If you cause a traffic accident, the fine will be $1,000 or more.
