Very little of the country is paved (at least outside the city center), and that is pretty flimsy (potholes everywhere, and they don't have to worry about freezing conditions deteriorating the roads), so most of the roads are dirt, and many of them remind me of a stream bed that's being used as a road.
Standard crooked dirt road, but not bad.
Dirt road ending as a field or may the other way around
Long and narrow dirt road
Long and wide dirt road.
Ruts!!
End of pavement and start of dirt (not much of a transition)
good paved road with the standard gutter system (if they would only cover it so the smell of the sewer didn't reach your nose).
Main road to Accra from the country getting crowded
Wide dirt road.
Is it a parking lot or a road or both?
Close up of the gutter system.
Paved without gutter system
Road?
Police at the toll booth
The most hated sign in Ghana -- the speed bump which serves as the police system for slowing everyone down.
A stream that is used as a road.

The traffic problem -- everyone wants to use the same road -- trucks, cars, pedestrians, bicycles, etc.
Another example of traffic of all kinds.
Road or path?
Gutter system and a dirt road.
