Topes...yeah speed bumps, in Africa
I have motorcycled through Africa a few times and through Mexico and Central and South America and Cuba.
After a while somethings can get kind of jumbled and some things merge together in a sticky goo in the memory banks.
Fact is I can't remember what country in Africa had the biggest and the most topes to slow down traffic for safety purposes and typically as a boon to roadside entrepreneurs selling their goods. I should remember because my butt and knees took a beating here and there, at least after the first hundred topes in a given day.
So I am thinking Malawi had the biggest and most, with the most developed roadside trade flourishing on their flank. Am I right? Other views? Would love to be set straight on this.
Thanks
Larry
