The Transportation
System in Cambodia
In
1997, only 8% of the roads in Cambodia were paved out of 35,769 km of
roadway. In Phnom Penh, a modern highway links it to Kampong Saom (a
deepwater port).
Other improvements in roadways are made possible with
donations from other countries, namely Japan. In spite of this, most
roadways in Cambodia are not passable for passenger cars.
Transportation
by bus around Cambodia has been forbidden, but travel is possible by other
methods, such as air travel and by train. There are still many
un-detonated
mines and other military paraphernalia, so straying from "the beaten
path" is not recommended, even in popular areas.
