As noted earlier, Côte d’Ivoire has a relatively developed infrastructure when compared to other West African countries, with a road system of 82,000km. Nevertheless, be aware that the traffic code is little respected and that serious accidents happen frequently. Many expatriates have a car and drive in Abidjan because it is more convenient, but it is extremely important to be careful and drive preventively. An international driving licence is required. You can find more information in the Driving Licence, Information and Schools section.
