According to an International Monetary Fund analysis on road quality and mean speed score, certain African countries have good road infrastructure. The evaluation includes more than 160 countries.
The IMF created a new measure of cross-country road quality based on Google Maps’ mean speed between significant cities. This Mean Speed (MS) score is a good proxy for assessing road quality and accessibility.
The MS score was substantially associated with the World Bank’s existing Rural Access Index and the World Economic Forum’s Quality of Road Infrastructure score.
The following are the ten African countries with the best road infrastructure.
| Rank | Country | Mean score |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | South Africa | 100 |
| 2 | Namibia | 99 |
| 3 | Morocco | 95 |
| 4 | Botswana | 91 |
| 5 | Libya | 90 |
| 6 | Algeria | 88 |
| 7 | Zimbabwe | 83 |
| 8 | Egypt | 83 |
| 9 | Cˆote d’Ivoire | 78 |
