The speed limits in Nelspruit are the same as in the rest of South Africa, and you'll need to be aware of them. If you're driving on any major highway leading into the city or between cities, stick to 120 km/h or below. There are various "speed traps" along these highways. Most public roads vary between 100 km/h and 120 km/h, depending on how remote the road is. If you're driving in the city, stick to 60 km/h. There are some areas, typically around schools and other places where children frequent, with a limit of 40 km/h.

The majority of parking spaces in and around Nelspruit are free on-street parking spots. However, there are usually local "car guards", who aren't always officially employed as security guards, that take it upon themselves to watch the vehicles and expect some small change in return. If you're parking in shopping centres, you'll generally be given a ticket upon entry that you'll have to pay before getting back to your vehicle. It's important to find accommodation that offers free parking, as it's difficult to find secure overnight car storage.
