Road conditions in West and Central Africa
 

Hi,

I travelled (yes, by motorbike) in 2009/10 through west and central africa, from north to south. I summarize here my experiences with road conditions at that time. Pay attention to "at that time" because road conditions can change very rapidly. Before I left I gathered information about the roads from the Hubb. It turned out that road sections which were indicated as "good" were quite bad while "bad" sections were suprisingly good, mainly thanks to the Chinese who did some work. Keep also in mind that I travelled during the dry season.
