Transport in the Isle of Man
There are a number of transport services around the Isle of Man, mostly consisting of paved roads, public transport, rail services, sea ports and an airport.
==Roads==
The island has a total of of public roads, all of which are paved. Roads are named using a numbering scheme similar to those used in the numbering of roads in Great Britain and Northern Ireland; each road is assigned a letter, which represents the road's category, and a subsequent 1–2 digit number. ''A'' roads constitute the main roads of the island whilst roads labelled ''B'', ''C'', ''D'' or ''U'' will decrease in size and or quality. There is no national speed limit - meaning the majority of roads may be driven at any speed which is safe and appropriate. Careless and dangerous driving laws still apply so one may not travel at absolutely any speed and local speed limits are prevalent in a similar manner to the UK. Nevertheless, sight lines are such that there are parts of the network where someone in an appropriate vehicle could approach , although measured travel speeds (see table below) are often relatively low. Potential reasons for this are that all drivers are limited to in the first two years after passing their driving test (Isle of Man citizens are permitted to start driving at the age of sixteen)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gov.im/categories/travel-traffic-and-motoring/drivers-and-vehicles/driving-licences/ )〕 and some are not used to having to make progress in the same way that drivers using a larger road network such as that in the UK are (even a cautious driver can get from anywhere in the island to anywhere else in ninety minutes).
Set against this is a strong culture of motor sport enthusiasm (pinnacled in the TT, but there are a huge number of events throughout the year) and experienced residents are well used to traversing country roads at speeds illegal on roads of such relatively low quality anywhere else on Earth. This leads to a very diverse level of both driving competence and speed. Through an official survey in 2006 the introduction of blanket speed limits was refused by the population, suggesting that a large number appreciate the freedom.
There is a comprehensive bus network, operated by Bus Vannin, a department of the Isle of Man Government, with most routes originating or terminating in Douglas.
