As with any big city, never let your guard down, because big cities such as Surabaya have a reputation among Indonesians for a mid crime rate. That said, Surabaya has few real dangers for visitors apart from the perils of crossing the very busy roads the secret is to raise an arm while crossing, and to progress with a predictable speed and bearing, allowing the traffic to flow around you. Don't walk on the streets, especially at night other than the CBD area, if you can avoid it since you won't have anything to sightsee. Bring along your face mask if you travel by foot during rush hour since the traffic will be chaos and the air pollution is bad. Around 4.30 PM to 6.30 PM Be polite to the people, since Surabayans tend to swear easily which are very common. Do not easily trust people you have just met, even if they look friendly.
