Road safety

Across the country, road conditions and safety are abysmal. Drivers are known to be aggressive and disobey traffic restrictions. Accidents happen all the time so that Road safety is really a serious issue. Outside of Monrovia, most roads are dirt and poorly lighted. During the rainy season, road conditions worsen dramatically.

Even with a four-wheel drive car, many locations become inaccessible. Further dangers are posed by roaming cattle, people, and badly maintained automobiles. To reduce the risk of injury, plan transportation ahead of time and for the duration of your trip; avoid driving unless you are comfortable with local road conditions; if feasible, use a four-wheel-drive vehicle; and avoid traveling after dark.

There are no functioning traffic signals, and the roadways are completely dark. When approaching junctions, be cautious. Exercise extra caution in the case of an accident. Accidents tend to attract crowds, which can quickly turn aggressive. Fuel shortages are a typical occurrence. If you're going to a distant location, keep Road safety in mind.
