1. Roads - I don't think when they built the roads they had thought of the concept of "merge lanes"... basically here you just get off an onramp straight on to the highway! And what's up with those barricades they are putting up everywhere? It's like they found a hidden cache of them and decided to put them everywhere!

2. Road signs - things can change so quickly here that road signs are obsolete often a couple months after they are put up. Even when things don't change though, signs are often in the wrong place at the wrong time.

3. Drivers - don't think I'm criticizing locals or Arabs or being racist in anyway. Expats are just as bad if not worse... people come here and degenerate into these Neanderthalic reptilian-brain barbarians when they get on the road... Please, leave some distance in front of you! Signal when you change lanes! And for God's sake stop incessantly flashing your stupid high beams - I see them, but maybe I can't get out of the lane because of the other maniac in the other lane who is barrelling down the highway at twice the speed you are!

Everything else is great .
