New York - St. John's: 4 hours Marine Atlantic Superferries carry hundreds of vehicles and passengers year-round between North Sydney, Nova Scotia, and Port aux Basques in southwest Newfoundland. A superferry also sails between North Sydney and Argentia, 90 minutes from St. John’s on the Avalon Peninsula, from June to September. In the summer, a passenger ferry operates between Saint Pierre & Miquelon and Fortune on the Burin Peninsula. All main highway routes in Newfoundland are paved, with a few short and well-maintained gravel side roads. Most coastal roads are paved with posted speed limits of 60-100 kph. In Labrador, Route 510 is paved from L’Anse au Clair to Red Bay and is gravel beyond that to Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Route 500 between Happy-Valley Goose Bay, Labrador City and Wabush is mainly gravel and connects to Quebec Route 389. The Trans-Canada Highway spans the island of Newfoundland from Port aux Basques to St. John’s.
Car Rentals Rental vehicles are available from major centres from a variety of agencies. It is highly recommended you book in advance as availability can be limited during the busy summer months. All drivers must carry a valid Driver’s License, Vehicle Registration Certificate and Proof of Liability Insurance Coverage. Newfoundland and Labrador is also the first Canadian province to prohibit the use of cell phones while driving.
Bus Service All major towns on Route 1 (the Trans Canada Highway), and many larger towns in rural Newfoundland, are served by regularly scheduled bus services. The equipment used ranges from long-haul coaches to mini-buses. Getting Around By Ferry and Coastal Boat
Communities on islands along the coast are connected by automobile and passenger ferries. Remote communities on Newfoundland’s south coast and on the coast of Labrador are connected by coastal boats that carry passengers but not autos. A seasonal car ferry connects St. Barbe on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula with Blanc Sablon on the Quebec-Labrador border where travellers can take Route 510 north to Cartwright. |
