While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Ukraine is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
Safety of Public Transportation: Fair
Urban Road Conditions/Maintenance: Fair
Rural Road Conditions/Maintenance: Poor
Availability of Roadside Assistance: Poor
Roads in Ukraine are in generally poor condition. Travel between cities at night and in winter can become extremely treacherous. Carjackings of Western-made or foreign-registered cars are on the rise. There has been an increase in the number of documented reports of criminal acts occurring on trains, including gassings and robberies. Major roads, however, are drivable during daylight hours. Roadside services such as gas stations and repair facilities are becoming more common but remain inadequate. Travelers should plan accordingly.
