Driving abroad
Driving in Moldova
Driving in MoldovaThe licence plates you will see on the road in Moldova, how to read them, and what a car from abroad needs.
Speed limits
Default limits for cars, unless signs say otherwise, as on the signs at border crossings.
- In towns
- 50 km/h
- Outside towns
- 90 km/h
Before you drive
- Vignette and tolls
- Cars registered abroad need a vignette for all public roads. Buy it at border customs posts or online at evinieta.gov.md.
Rules and prices change. Check the official site before you travel.
MD
Country code
Cars registered here show the country code MD. Abroad, the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic asks for it at the rear of the car: on a white oval sticker, or as part of the plate. A car from abroad shows its own country code at the rear in the same way.
Reading the plates
Plates carry no regional code, so the letters and numbers do not tell where a car is from.
