When there's one road

Scores of travelers leaving the country via the Roberts International Airport nearly missed their flight on Tuesday due to the heavy and uncontrolled traffic on the RIA Highway caused by the United Methodist University’s graduation.

The airline was gracious enough to have delayed by an hour to give passengers a chance to board since half of its travelers were stranded in the traffic. The hour delay in Monrovia, however, led to many passengers missing their connecting flights from Accra, Ghana to other destinations.

There's no other good way to get there. Maybe you could get a ferry ride at SNAFU, but probably not on short notice. And I was complaining about Pittsburgh traffic...

UPDATE: The last time I was in Liberia, there was one working stoplight in Monrovia, and stop signs were meaningless unless enforced by a policeman.
