The national road system length is 17,295 km with 27.6% of its length paved. The provincial road system is 27,762 km of length with 23.6% paved. The road network is relatively well developed, but in poor condition. [1] Due to congestion and lack of safety, the average speed on the national roads is a mere 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph). [2]
