The Most Important Driving Rules in Burkina Faso
Driving in Burkina Faso is challenging and exciting at the same time. It is seen in all the driving and travel advisories around the world. Burkinabes don't follow the road traffic rules, and authorities are having a hard time implementing them. With road accidents, recorded car breakdowns, and terrorism warnings, it is essential to have preparation in your journey. Here are some of the most crucial road traffic rules that you should keep in mind if you plan to see the wonders of Burkina Faso.
Avoid Driving at Night
Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso, houses the country's government, but that doesn't mean it is secured. Citizens tend to drive without headlights, and they walk in the middle of the road. Some car drivers do not signal others. Refrain from going out at night because cases like theft and car-napping are highly possible in the dark areas.
Always Bring Personal Essentials and Means of Communication
The roads and outskirts of Burkina Faso and its capital Ouagadougou are as challenging as they may seem. You will see many Burkinabes biking around, random checkpoints within the streets. The roads are paved and far away from each other, so it is highly advised for tourists to have essentials such as fuel, food, water, and two-way communication radios in case of emergency.
