There is only one significant thing to watch out for while walking around the Plaza and Westport. That is the traffic. There are few, if any stop signs. It is more or less an unwritten law that cars and pedestrians have to watch out for each other. So, when crossing the street, you need to exercise extreme caution.
Traffic is unregulated and drivers enter intersections at their own discretion.
The movement of people and vehicles is not unlike a giant video game. Often, drivers will make sudden turns in order to pass through a rare opening in traffic. So you need to be as careful as possible, especially if you are in Westport on a weekend night. There is limited visibility and it is very hard for drivers to see everything that is around them. Although the police and other security officers in the Plaza do a superb job of keeping crime to a minimum, it is always prudent to stay out of dark or secluded areas.
