Traffic circle

You could catch a ride at the traffic circle where BR-415 meets BR-230. It will still be mostly local traffic though.

Police station

Further down, there is a station for federal highway police. A cop here told Keith to keep moving in 2014. He was nice though.

Transamazonica monument

Further down, there is a monument for mile 0 of the highway. Tourists stop here to take pictures. Might be a good place to get a lift.

Sleep

The firemen in this town are friendly and quick to offer a meal and mattress. Keith was given a whole room!
