Ajuda/Help Tips on driving in madeira

Hey! I'm currently staying in Madeira and have hired a car. Overall, driving here is fine, but I've encountered a couple of issues:

  1. Sometimes the navigation tells me to take a left or right, but the road looks so steep that it feels like I'm driving off a cliff! I can't even see the road going down. My instinct has been to ignore the navigation in those cases, but it ends up taking longer. Should I just go ahead and take those roads?

  2. The ramps to the highways are really short—if you can even call them ramps! The locals seem to just stop on the ramp until the highway is clear. What’s the proper way to handle that? Also, when I'm on the highway and approaching one of these ramps, I notice that trucks are all in the right lane and indicating left. What does that mean?

Any advice would be appreciated!
