Dear all,
They have jsut unvailed a plan here to build the east legon road bigger, which is a very good idea as it is always filled with traffic. And the traffic here is not like our traffic in Canada but it has a different sort of energy, people slowly inch forwards untill the on comming car ahs no chioce but to stop, however the stopped drivers do not mind but curtiouly let their fellow man/woman into the lane. No one seems to get to mad, as happy horns are blown to let people know you are there, or if you are a taxi driver to attempt, with a face like a puppy dog, to convince the pedesstrain to join you.
In the city it is the same however the grid lock is much more sever, as thee levels of high way are all in grid lock, it is amazing sometimes to think that one could walk faster down the road than to be in a motor vehicle.
The only time people seem to get mad is when someone commits a driving error or if they see a small fight starting on the side of the raod, then everyone in ear/eye shot will yell untill the situation is resolved, or the auto they are in has moved forward in the traffic.
I guess that the traffic isn't always this bad, however at rush hour, and also other points in the day, this seems to be the trend.
BUt me, walking a lot am jsut an observeer, giving all the rights of way to the drivers as to be sure to save my own life.

As big black clouds of smoke come out the back of trucks I am happy, knowing taht this is my home, but also that these roads will soon be more lanes and the congestion, at least for the time being will be lessioned.

But i guess it is not much different than toronto...
