## **Safety **

### **Traffic**

The biggest risk in Timor will be due to the traffic. Slow taxis, fast scooters, swerving in and out of lanes, no indicators and very little spatial awareness. Recommend extreme caution.

### **Nature and animals**

Animals are frequently on the roads in most rural areas.
