Surfergirl1982 Hi Am staying in Nusa Dua next month and need to meet friends in Kuta one afternoon I know the traffic will be horrendous due to the work going on with the underpass Could anyone give me an approx time in a taxi? I was told 1.5 to 2hrs? Is there a better time then others to go? Thanks in advance
sakumabali Hi surfergirl, I live in Nusa2 and went often to Kuta in the last time, the answer: nobody really knows how long it gonna take with a car ;-) with a motorbike maybe 40 minutes The problem is you never know if there's an accident somewhere, a ceremony, a demonstration etc and even if all is standard flow there might be some lunatic drivers who like to park on one lane....just start a bit earlier and enjoy beach life while waiting
Surfergirl1982 [b]Thanks sakumabali[/b] Thanks, I have been getting varying answers!A local friend who lives in Nusa Dua says 15mins!! Someone else said 1,5hrs I will prepare myself for an hour journey and hope for the best! Lindsey
davita If coming from Nusa i wouldn't suggest routing by Galleria and the underpass construction. Turn left after the airport runway and right into Kuta.

Surfergirl1982 [b]Oh it is a Saturday[/b] I am going into Kuta on a Saturday :ambivalence: I guess I might have to get a motorbike taxi, might be the quickest way but I didnt want to arrive with helmet hair! would rather arrive fresh out of a taxi!!! so the airport way on a Saturday around 11am would be no good?
balibule 11 AM will most likely still be OK. 3-4PM is when mayhem usually starts although I have had Saturdays with little traffic as well. It's very difficult to predict.
BKT From 10am to 3pm you'll be fine. I went from Nusa Dua to Seminyak at 2pm a few days ago, rolled right through Simpang Siur with out stopping
Markit A light must go on in peoples heads when we get a whole thread in the forum not about traffic in general or Balinese drivers per se, but about a single trip on some Saturday between 3 and 4pm. This really has to choke the chicken - anyone want some advice on how to cross over from the south side to the north side of the by-pass? (run like feck!) People! If you are south of Sanur you are doomed! Even then your chances aren't much better until you get to Gianyar.
