2.3 Comoros Road Network
The Comoros road network suffers from a serious lack of investment since the state relies solely on foreign financing for its maintenance, expansion or rehabilitation.
In 2019, the road network of the archipelago is distributed as follows: 58.3% in Grande Comoros with 495 km (289 km paved), 33.2% in Anjouan with 256 km (180 km t paved), and 11.5 % in Mohéli 98 km (84 km paved)
According to the latest government study, 80% of the road network is in poor condition and will require rehabilitation works.

Road Security
Page 2 The roads of the country are particularly dangerous due to a total absence of traffic signs and a non-existent road regulations but also due to an aging fleet of imported vehicles. All added to roads in bad condition make it the major risk for humanitarian workers in the Comoros.
Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
There are no regulations and no control from any government entity.
