Road conditions in Brazil vary widely, from excellent state-maintained modern highways to federal interstate roads which are under-funded and poorly maintained. Within cities and towns, road conditions are highly variable.

There are severe penalties for traffic offences in Brazil, although these are not always strictly enforced, and the laws vary between states. The maximum speed limits are usually 110 kph on national highways and 80 kph in cities and speed cameras are operation, although the speed limits are usually ignored wherever there are no cameras. It is illegal to overtake on the right. The blood/alcohol limit is 0.06 percent. Seatbelts must be worn.

There are very few railways services within the country, with the exception of a few tourist services.

It is possible to travel by boat between some of the cities of the Rio SÃÂGBPo Francisco and along the Amazon. There are passenger-ferry services between most of Brazil's coastal ports.
