General rules

Traffic in Armenia drives on the right. Outside built-up areas, and on motorways, roads for motor vehicles or wherever more than 80 km/h is allowed, keep as close to the right edge as possible and don’t use the left lanes while the right ones are free. In built-up areas you may use whichever lane is convenient.

• With 3 or more lanes in one direction, the leftmost lane is only for heavy traffic, overtaking, left turns and U-turns
• Lorries over 3.5 t may use the leftmost lane only to turn left or make a U-turn

In the dark, in poor visibility and in tunnels, main or dipped beam must be on. In daylight, dipped beam is required on motorcycles and mopeds, in an organised convoy, when carrying groups of children and when towing.

• Switch main beam to dipped at least 150 m before an oncoming vehicle
• On lit roads in built-up areas, dipped beam only

Children under 7 must ride in a child restraint suited to their weight and height. From 7 to 12, a child restraint or a seat belt — but in the front seat of a car only a child restraint. Children under 12 may not ride on the back seat of a motorcycle.
