Conakry - Post Report Question and Answers

I drive on the right, but some Guineans drive on the right and the left and down the center of the street. But officially, yes, one drives on the right here. Streets are narrow and people, cars and livestock compete for room. If you accidentally run over somebody's chicken or soccer ball, apologize through your barely rolled down window and offer 25,000 Guinea francs as recompense, and you will be permitted to go on your way in peace. Though they are walking in the middle of the street, try not to splash people as you drive through mud puddles during rainy season. - Mar 2008
