Road
Traffic drives on the right. Sierra Leone has over 10,000km (6214 miles) of roads. Although the principal highways have a tarred surface, the secondary roads are poorly maintained and often impassable during the rainy season. There are some roadblocks at night on major roads near centres of population. Bus: Local and long-distance bus services are operated by the Sierra Leone Road Transport Corporation. Buses are fast and cheap and connect all the major centres. Documentation: An International Driving Permit is required.

Urban
Limited bus services in Freetown are operated by the Road Transport Corporation, although a substantial part of the city’s public transport is provided by minibuses and share-taxis.
