Dangers & Annoyances
Untitled Document
Drivers routinely jump red lights, so take extra care on pedestrian crossings even if they are protected by lights. Drivers almost never stop for pedestrian crossings that are not protected by traffic lights so they are useless. Motorcyclists often drive along pavements and pedestrian crossings, particularly in Seoul. Cars also find pavements and pedestrian crossings a convenient place to park.
The lack of street names, signs and numbers can make navigation around cities difficult. But don’t expect taxi drivers, passers-by and even shopkeepers to know it. Tip: the small number signs on some buildings have the street name underneath, although only in Han·geul.
