According to the Somerset County Council, you should observe the following speeds when driving a Taunton hire car around its boundaries: 20mph is the maximum speed in residential districts and urban areas, but 30mph is the legal speed across the entire county. 40mph is the limit on ring roads, for example, while 50mph and 60mph speeds are possible along the A38 and A358 once you’re safely outside town limits.

The Council for Somerset West and Taunton administers an on-street parking system within the town limits. These are usually pay and display schemes, so expect to use them for a limited time only. The rate is usually between £2 and £3 per two-hour period or about £1.50 per hour in certain areas. The Council also operates a few public car parks, some of which offer parking for disabled persons. Some of these garages may be multi-storey and are perfect for extended stays if you decide to leave the car behind. Expect a rate of less than £2 for the first hour to start.
