"Ghanaian traffic" Top 5 Page for this destination Ghana Transportation Tip by Pieter11

One great thing about Ghana, and Africa in general actually, is that you can expect everything on the roads. No such things as special buslanes, "no trucks allowed here" or special car inspections before you are allowed to drive with it: as long as it CAN drive, it WILL drive.

During my period in Ghana, I've seen the weirdest thing driving around: 30 year old pick-ups that need a reparation everytime they want to start it, small busses with 20 goats tied up on its roof, taxi's without a dashboard and with a frontwindow that only stays in because of the metres of tapes it is stuck together with, and old trucks that are used to transport at least 50 people with.

And besides these motorized vehicles you also see handkarts being pulled, a lot of chinese scooters, countless bicycles with baskets attached to the steer and women with enormous buckets filled with water on their heads. No matter how long you are in Ghana, it stays fantastic to just sit down and enjoy the chaos out on the streets.
