Unexpected obstructions and hazards The roads in Lombok have horse carts (cidomo), free roaming cattle, goats, cats, dogs, chickens and other assorted hazards moving about at all hours. Roadworks or hazards are rarely sign-posted by other than a tree branch or a rock placed on the road as a warning, most often no cautionary signal is given at all. Travelling by car after the onset of dusk should be avoided in the southern areas of Lombok and undertaken with great caution elsewhere especially in the rural areas. There are numerous extra road hazards at night throughout the island including cows walking around and vehicles travelling without working lights. In the kampungs and rural areas villagers will often be found sitting in the middle or on the edges of the road at night socialising. |
