• Keep an eye out for potholes and approaching cars. Some roads are also inadequately illuminated, making driving at night very dangerous.
  Because street signs may be missing, bring a map or GPS to avoid getting lost.
• On the road, keep an eye out for pedestrians. Many streets lack sidewalks, and it’s not uncommon to see individuals walking down the street in groups of four. As a result, take it carefully and slowly.
