How To Navigate Bali Traffic: By Expedition Bali Tours.

Bali Traffic

Yes, there's a lot of traffic in Bali. Mainly consisting of scooters / motorbikes from 110cc Honda Beats, to Honda Vario 150's and Honda PCX and Yamaha N-Max 155cc's respectively. Cars are increasingly becoming a status symbol for locals in Bali. "I can afford a car, look at me" this takes up even more space on the roads. We know one guy that would rather drive everywhere in a car even though it may take two hours to do less than seven kilometres in some cases, because he will look successful when he arrives if he arrives in a car. We ride scooters every days. We can get around the traffic, however patience is a huge 'must' (Something I myself have yet to master.) The extra traffic on Bali road makes it all the more difficult to predict the pick up timing for the Bali Tours we have. (Easy for our 4x4 Sunrise Sensation Private Tour & Million Dollar Point 4x4 Private Tour, they start in the early hours of the morning. The rest... give or take.) We've made a few videos so you can see what it's like in certain areas:
