  • When driving in Aberystwyth, it's important to be aware of its compact size and narrow streets, particularly in the town centre. Some roads may require cautious navigation due to limited space. Pay attention to pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists, as traffic can be dense, especially during peak hours.

Stay alert and adapt to the driving conditions of the city.
  • In Aberystwyth, rush hour typically occurs on weekdays from 08:00 to 09:30 and from 16:30 to 18:00.
