What makes trips take longer
- Morning (07:00–09:00) and evening (16:00–19:00) rush hours.
- Holiday seasons, long weekends and religious holidays.
- Ceremonies that close roads temporarily.
- Heavy rain and flooding on small roads.
How to plan
Stay near the places you'll visit most, group destinations by region, and leave earlier. The main traffic hotspots are covered in Bali rush-hour traffic hotspots. Detailed routes: Kuta to Ubud, Canggu to Uluwatu and Sanur to Amed.
For trips over 2 hours, plan a break every 1–1.5 hours. Fatigue is a common cause of accidents.
