Traffic drives on the right. Prior to the 2001 conflict, there were over 22,000km (13,000 miles) of roads, some of which were paved. This network has largely been destroyed, although the Kabul-Kandahar highway and the Kandahar-Herat highway have been restored.

Buses, trolleybuses and taxis used to operate in Kabul but often proved unreliable. Since the 2001 conflict, some services have resumed, but are less reliable than ever due to the extensive infrastructure and vehicle destruction incurred.
