Abijo is generally calm, but the expressway can get dark at night due to poor street lighting. Try to reach your destination before 9:00 PM so you can easily find local Kekes or bikes into the inner streets.
If traffic blocks the Ajah bridge completely, you can drop from your bus, walk past the bottleneck area on foot, and look for a fresh Korope bus or Keke on the other side heading towards Abijo.
