Giving directions

You’ll rarely be given specific directions. “Over there” is much more common. Also, street names are almost non-existant/infrequently used; using landmarks to describe location is actually more helpful.

Trusting people who give directions

People will sometimes say they know where you’re going and give you vague directions, even if they don’t really know. This is particularly true of taxi drivers in Dakar. If you don’t know where you’re going or how to get there, make that clear before getting in the car.
