Driving in Jersey: Speed limits
Jersey has a maximum speed limit of 40 mph.
The limit is 20-30 mph in urban areas and 15 mph when driving on the Island's green lanes.
If caught speeding, you must provide all relevant details to the police, who will report the incident to a Centenier in the parish in which the offence occurred. When stopped, the driver is asked to see a Centenier at the parish hall of the parish in which the offence took place.
At the parish hall, the Centenier may impose a fine provided:
- It is not the second or more speeding offence the driver has had in the preceding three years.
- If on a first offence, the speed concerned was no more than 15 mph above the speed limit for that particular area.
To contest a speeding infraction, raise the issue with the Centenier at the parish hall. If the Centenier is not able to deal with the offence, he will charge the offender and present the offender to the Magistrate's Court for the Magistrate to hear the case.
Speeding carries a fine. It can also include a disqualification or an endorsement on the driver's licence.
