The town isn't far from the seaside resort of Torquay, so if you're planning a seaside visit with your family, get something more spacious like an MPV to fit in all your beach or water sports gear. In winter, it's not a bad idea to hire a 4WD vehicle, in case you encounter ice on the roads.

The speed limit in central Newton Abbot is 30 mph (48 kmph), while roads on the outskirts of the town have a 40 mph (64 kmph) speed limit. The authorities have a very strict traffic-calming policy in place, using mobile Vehicle Activated Signs as speed indicators. Thus, it pays to observe the posted limits at all times, particularly on main streets like Marychurch Road, where it intersects with Aller Brake Road. Community Speedwatch volunteers also keep an eye out for speedsters and report them.
