Reblogged from The Sunblock Chronicles:
Driving in Ugandan traffic will change your life; mostly because you’ll constantly see it flash before your eyes.
Imagine this: Take the majority of Kampala’s 1.7 million people and put half of them on road – in one form or another – at the same time.
Now, take away all road signs, traffic signals and directional markings. They have a few, but they’re more for decoration.
A very apt description of traffic in Kampala. I often feel like I'm in a James Bond film while racing through traffic on a boda boda. I have yet to drive on top of someone's roof, but we pretty much drive on anything else that's passable.
