Driving & Road Conditions In Liberia

Navigating The Windy Roads Of Liberia

You’ll get detours. Lots of them. That’s in part because of war damage and heavy rains in tandem with a lack of maintenance over the years.

As you come up on intersections, the U.S. State Department notes that caution should be top of mind. Other vehicles aren’t maintained well and tire blowouts are common. More importantly, they’re laden with people and make frequent stops. Meaning you should always pay attention to the road.

As far as laws go, there is little to no enforcement of the laws that do exist in the country. Though there is one law: Pull over for a government convoy if and when you do see one.

Got into an accident? Stay in the vehicle. Apparently mob violence is a common thing when a traffic accident occurs. It is not recommended you get out of your car to talk to the other driver unless your car is wrecked.
