Pedestrian and other amazing things on the Omani highways

 

One of the most surprising thing while driving in Oman is the number of pedestrians you may find running to cross the highway.

However, pedestrians are not the only hazard you may encounter on the road. So far, I have seen : civil works vehicles, bicycles driving on the right hand lane, ambulance taking the emergency lane the wrong way, different kinds of animals (camel, half-goat,...).

For information, the speed limit on the highway is 120km/h, thus crossing it on foot is quite dangerous.
