Civil unrest is generally not a problem in Riga, and there have been no incidents of terrorism directed toward U.S. interests. Incidents of anti-Americanism are rare.

Latvia is quite dark during the winter months, and pedestrians are required to wear small reflectors, which people generally pin to their coats or handbags. Reflectors are very important in rural areas where it may be difficult for motorists to see pedestrians. Starting October 1, 2014 all pedestrians walking on curbs in rural areas have to wear lighted vests.

Each winter, several people in Latvia sustain serious injuries from falling icicles. Pay careful attention to sidewalks that are blocked by rope or tape and be cautious of work crews clearing ice and snow from building rooftops. It may be prudent to use an alternate route away from the marked or work areas. [..]

Latvia’s rate of automobile accidents and fatalities is one of the highest in Europe. You should be alert for pedestrians and slow-moving vehicles in traffic. Additionally, violation of traffic rules is common, and it is not unusual to be passed by another automobile traveling at high speeds, even in crowded urban areas. [..]

Be alert to the possibility of drunk drivers and drunken pedestrians wandering on the road.
