Travelers’ preferences and needs provide the basis for car type recommendations when traveling in Banff. Compact cars like sedans make maneuvering and navigating narrow mountain roads easy due to their compact size. All-wheel drives (AWD) vehicles are suitable for Banffs mountainous terrain and during winter seasons. AWD vehicles transmit power to all four wheels hence firm grip and control on slippery surfaces. SUV vehicles are more suitable for off-road ventures as they have more traction and high ground clearance.
Provincial laws regulate the speed limits in Banff and vary depending on the type of road and the zone you are driving. The town-wide speed enforced by Banff town council is 30 km/h (18 mph). Bow Valley Parkway (HWY 1A) has a speed limit of 60 km/h (37 mph). Driving above the speed limit attracts a heavy fine or penalty. It is important to adjust your speed according to weather, traffic, and road conditions. Road signs in Banff are written in English, as more than 90% of Banff residents are English speakers.
