Roads

Jeff November 30th, 2007

There are many unpaved roads in Dar (read: dirt with hug dips and trenches in them that would excite even the most experienced 4×4 enthusiast). We took one home from White Sands a few weeks ago but had not taken that route home in our previous few visits. The combination of it being late at night, the lack of street lights and the condition of the road suggested that the taxi driver was taking me out to the middle of no where to kill me until I saw some kids running around the road and figured it was ok.  Here is a picture of a road that is still well within the city limits of Dar.

And just to even things out, a sidewalk in Dar:

Sidewalk

Yes that is a stump.  And for the record, this side of the street has about a 6 inch curb while the other side is about one foot.  There werent really any standards when this city was built.  It seems that people just kinda did whatever they wanted to.
