Langkawi Island Traffic Hazards

All the roads on the island are narrow and go up/down hills with many curves (maximum speed limit is 36 mph - 60 kph). Water buffalo (like those in this pic) and other "cattle" freely roam the roads - one can't be sure when they will suddenly decide to cross a road. Legally, they have the right of way and there are serious/substantial fines for hitting one! Note thick vegatation in background.
