Bermuda has 150 miles of private paved roads; 130 miles of public paved roads; 25 miles of historic, mostly unpaved railroad trail, used in parts as a scenic trail; two ports (Hamilton and St. George's), and one airport, the Bermuda International Airport, located at the former U.S. Naval Air Station.

Cars were not allowed in Bermuda until 1946. Previously, the railway had been used for public transport, but proved highly unprofitable and was dismantled. Bermuda today has a large number of private cars, almost one for every two inhabitants; however only long-term residents are allowed to drive cars (due in large part to the narrow, winding, wall-lined roads, which require some skill to navigate in a car). They are also limited to one car per household, and the size of cars is also restricted, meaning that many models popular in North America and Europe are not available in Bermuda. As in the United Kingdom, traffic drives on the left, meaning that visitors from North America must take special care on Bermuda's roads. There is no car hire; visitors may only rent low-power motor scooters; they may also use the extensive public bus system, or take taxis. The highest speed limit anywhere on the island is 40 km/h (approximately 25 mph), and it is lower in built-up and other congested areas.
