night driving in Costa Rica

Weather events are among the many hazards drivers face in Costa Rica.

Transit Police asked the Costa Rican public to drive safely this upcoming long weekend, when many people will have Monday off for Independence Day.

The National Meteorological Institute (IMN) has launched a daily forecast that focuses on the conditions of Costa Rica's primary roads.

More than 1.3 million people die each year on the world's roads, and tens of millions are seriously injured.
