Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally busy and safe during the day, but you must keep your eyes open. Watch your pockets and bags at Ojota under-bridge and inside crowded garages. At night, hold your phone tight when stuck in traffic around Gbagada and Oworonshoki because of pickpockets and traffic robbers.
