Shrewsbury car hire

If you’re travelling solo or with a couple of mates, a small economy car or compact is most affordable and better equipped to handle any narrow downtown streets you encounter. If you intend to spend long hours on the road, however, the comfort and storage space of an SUV or intermediate saloon offers advantages over smaller cars and can carry more passengers.

Unless there are posted signs indicating otherwise, the legal speed limit in Shrewsbury is 30mph. This applies to all urban districts, whereas the limit along roads in urban areas is 40mph. Driving on single carriageways increases to 50mph and along dual carriageways 60mph is acceptable. The maximum speed along motorways is 70mph. Active CCTV and traffic cameras are in constant use along major roads and junctions so observe speed signs as you go.
