Dumfries is a small town with relatively flat terrain and well-maintained roads. Therefore, almost any type of car, from compact cars to SUVs, should be fine for driving around the area. However, since Virginia tends to have a lot of humidity and rain, we recommend a car that's equipped with good traction control, stability control, and reliable brakes. Thus, an SUV or crossover would be an excellent choice for driving around Dumfries, as these cars offer better traction, stability, and maneuverability for a variety of terrains and road conditions.

In Dumfries, the speed limit varies depending on the type of road and the area. In residential areas, the speed limit is typically 25 mph, while on most other city roads, the limit is 35 mph. On major highways such as Interstate 95 and Highway 1, the speed limit is generally 55 mph or higher. In school zones, the speed limit is reduced to 25 mph during school hours.

Most of the major establishments in the downtown area of Dumfries, including restaurants, shops, and offices, have their own parking lots or spaces. There are a few public parking lots available in Dumfries, and street parking is also an option. Paid parking is not a common practice, and most parking lots and on-street parking options are generally free. Some establishments may have private parking lots or garages that charge a fee, but these aren't widely available.
