About the Bahamas Highway Code Online
The Bahamas Highway Code Online was created to make road rules and traffic laws easier to understand, easier to study, and easier to use.
The official documents — the Highway Code and the Road Traffic Act — are essential for drivers, but they are often long, technical, and difficult to navigate. On top of that, the official Highway Code can be insufficient or inconsistent with the questions asked in the driving exam, leaving many learners searching for extra sources to fill the gaps.
This site brings the same information together in a clear, structured, and accessible format so that nothing important is missing:
- Plain language explanations of the rules, with legal references where needed.
- Step-by-step guidance for safe driving and everyday road situations.
- Consistent page structure with summaries, examples, and references to law.
- Searchable glossary and FAQ to make study and revision easier.
- Accessible design: readable fonts, high-contrast colors, mobile-friendly layout, and simple navigation for learners of all levels.
By combining clarity with completeness, this site aims to bridge the knowledge gap and provide learners with the confidence that what they study here will match both the law and the exam.
Why Accessibility Matters
Many people who sit the driving exam in The Bahamas face repeated difficulties — not because they cannot drive, but because the material is not presented in a way that is easy to absorb. This website is designed to be more inclusive, supporting:
- Learners with reading challenges or test anxiety.
- Visitors and tourists who need to quickly understand local rules.
- Drivers brushing up on updates to the law.
Our goal is to make sure the road rules are within reach of everyone, so that safer driving becomes a shared standard.
