DANGER in the roads of Moorea, French Polynesia.
The roads are in a deplorable state, and most of the population drives without a driver’s license.
Our correspondent in Moorea sends us this photo as an example of the state of the roads, which have been neglected for several years without any repairs.
They also inform us that due to the lack of Gendarmerie personnel on the island, which sometimes numbers less than ten to cover all day and night shifts,
road controls (very common on the island of Tahiti) are completely nonexistent in Moorea.
This has emboldened a large portion of the population without driver’s licenses to get behind the wheel, and accidents have tragically multiplied.”
Visitors dreaming to visit Moorea be very careful.
