A roadside air compressor for your tires in Kabul – they are a common sight on roads that aren’t in total gridlock (i.e., traffic circles)…. the roads are so bad that the taxi driver said he fills his tires up to three times a week.

This guy has the right idea – if you can call it that – to escape the snarls near all the bases, embassies, and fortified compounds. I think safety is all relative here. Scarves, though, are always required.
Kabul Traffic #1

I was more than a little surprised that Kabul has some pretty serious traffic – but when you’re stuck behind a massive ISAF armored convoy, it turns out to not be that surprising in the end. It certain has nothing to do with the transportation gird – as the Afghans don’t seem to need traffic lights or signals of any kind, a kind very polite chaos at full speed, horns, and inches between the cars. Our driver assured me that only bus drivers would obey the traffic police.
