Road safety:
Driving in El Salvador can be hazardous because vehicles are often poorly maintained and streets tend to be narrow, with poor signage and inadequately lit. Urban streets are crowded with vendors. Rural roads have wandering livestock and pedestrians as well as potholes or missing manhole.
Most land border crossings remain open 24 hours a day, but some have been known to close without warning. Plan to cross the border early enough so you arrive at your destination before dark.
Police traffic checkpoints (retenes) are common, especially on the streets outside of San Salvador.
Public transportation:
Public buses and taxis can be dangerous (see security).
At the El Salvador International Airport, Acacya taxi is a safe option.
