TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS, Cote dIvoire

Displayed:   times.

While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Cote dÂ’Ivoire is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance. Serious traffic accidents, one of the greatest threats to Americans in Cote dÂ’Ivoire, occur regularly in Abidjan. Unsafe road conditions, unskilled drivers, and poorly maintained and overloaded vehicles create very poor driving conditions. Speed limits, signals, and yielding for pedestrians and cyclists are not respected. You should drive very defensively, watch out for public transportation vehicles that stop and start without warning, and be especially cautious at intersections because traffic lights often malfunction. If you must drive at night, beware of vehicles without headlights and/or taillights, and pedestrians and bicycles along the roadside. In case of an accident, do not move the vehicles until told to do so by a police officer. However, if there is no other vehicle to take the injured to a hospital, or if you believe your life is in danger from others at the site of the accident, go to the nearest hospital or police station.
