Speed limits must be observed strictly all around Tasmania. Speed limits on highways are usually 100 km/h unless otherwise signed. Speed limits on all Tasmanian streets range from 50-60km/h unless otherwise signed. Fines will be imposed if speed limits are not observed.
Mobile phone reception can be patchy in many areas of the Tasman Peninsula. Telstra NextG provides the best reception, but this is not guaranteed.
Tasmania is generally a safe place, but basic safety must be observed.
talk
English is spoken throughout Tasmania and no other languages are spoken. Tasmanians are extremely friendly and they will try to understand you gladly if you know only simple English.
