Trucks are the lifeline that holds Djibouti up and is the umbelical cord for Ethiopia. There are only two paved roads in Djibouti. The most important, National Hwy #1, which is only partially paved, runs from Djibouti City and its port to Accra, Ethiopia. Ethiopia is landlocked, so all of its imports, which are many, come through Djibouti. There are many truck accidents on the road and so, we don't drive at night. And,damaged trailers, are often left along side the road forever.
