TRUCKS' MARKET * AFRICA / Rwanda - Wants to drive on the left
Kigali,Rwanda -The Independent, by Kabona Esiara -11 August 2009: -- Rwanda will soon switch to the left-hand drive system on its roads. Currently Rwanda uses a right-hand drive system on its roads and most vehicles are right-hand... Government has realised the transport problems the country is facing and wants to address the matter. But the foreign trucks that the country heavily depends on are inconvenienced by Rwanda’s traffic laws... Out of an estimated 1,600kms from Mombasa to Kigali, it is only between Gatuna to Kigali where drivers switch driving sides from left to right for a stretch of 70km... Should recommendations in the study be adopted, this will force government to source funding for redesigning the roads to suit the left-hand drive system. The government will also have to make new road signs... Only 28 percent of the world’s total road distance carries traffic on the left and 72 percent on the right...Labels: trucks' markets
