Size offers no particular advantage when travelling along the roads in Hemel Hempstead. Determining the best car to choose therefore depends on the number of passengers along for the ride and how much you intend to spend. Larger vehicles offer a more comfortable ride but can present problems when it comes to on-street parking, while smaller compacts suffer no constraints.
Travelling at speeds of 30mph along inner city streets is fine unless you are driving near certain restricted areas where reductions to about 20mph may be enforced. Along the A414 and the B487, speeds of 40mph are common along certain stretches where appropriate signs are posted. If you’re on the A41, between 50mph-60mph is acceptable, while the M1 allows for a top speed of 70mph.
