Gaborone Roads Upgrade

A major project has been underway for some time to expand some of the most heavily trafficked roads in Gaborone – upgrading from single lanes in each direction to four lane thoroughfares. At the moment the road from town to Tlokweng and the Samora Machel which leads to Game City and Lobatse are under reconstruction. As all of the work takes place, roads are closed and for some reason robots (traffic lights) are out at many intersections. Yet drivers seem remarkably patient, even kombi drivers, taking turns to let each vehicle pass. I understand that people are seeing the benefits of the upgrades.
