Road traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of death or injury abroad. Before you leave, learn how to make safe and informed transportation decisions.
How to Make Safe Driving Decisions
Signage, road conditions, and adherence to rules of the road vary greatly from one country to the next. Travelers are particularly vulnerable in more remote locations. In some countries, traffic accidents are considered criminal acts.
Travel to remote environments requires extensive research, planning, and preparation. Make sure you learn about the conditions of road travel at your destination and how to make safe travel choices. Whether you plan to travel by car, bus, train, or boat, the video and resources below can help you start the process.
