Driving in and around Detroit

Once you’re on the go, Detroit’s road network is more straightforward than some expect, with major thoroughfares such as Woodward, Michigan and Jefferson guiding you toward key districts. Parking is widely available and often cheaper than in other big cities, but if you hire a rental car for city exploring, check signage around popular areas so you don’t end up in restricted zones.
