Traffic drives on the right. Road surfaces are reasonably good. All vehicles travelling in the desert should be in good mechanical condition, as breakdown facilities are virtually non-existent.
Travellers must carry full supplies of water and petrol.
Travel by road (outside Algiers) in northern Algeria should be avoided, especially after dark.
