Angola

Via Expresso.

Botswana

Benin

Benin's coastal RNIE1 from Cotonou to Nigeria have improved widened divided roadways of various quality.

Ethiopia

Ghana

Part of Ghana's coastal highway is 4 laned, and it consists of a controlled access section called "George W. Bush Highway", as well as the Tema-Accra highway. Part of the Tema-Accra highway is concrete, but the lanes are unmarked. They drive on the right.

Kenya

The Thika Road is an eight-lane. They drive on the left.

Namibia

Highway B1 near Highway C28 is 4 lane controlled access.

Nigeria

Nigeria has numerous improved 4-laned roadways, including grade separations for railways. Near and inside cities have partial grade separations with feeder roads. Benin's coastal RNIE1 near the border between Benin and Nigeria is a 4 laned controlled access highway. As it crosses into Nigeria, it becomes the "Lagos-Badagry Express Way". It continues until its terminus east of Apapa road. (Apapa Road is also 4 lane controlled access.) Other roads are:

  • Apongbon St.
  • Ijora Cause Way
  • Ring Road
  • Highway E1, "Lagos-Ibadan Expressway" (It briefly reverts to 2 lanes at Ojodu.) This highway is 4 laned almost its entire run, with controlled access most of its run. The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway terminates at Ibadan, as well as Highway E1. However, the road does not end. 2-laned Highway A1 merges onto the 4-laned road. The road is now called Highway A1 instead of E1 or Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, even though it is the same road.
  • Highway A1 is otherwise a 2 laned road, until the road known as E1 until it reaches Ibadan becomes known as A1. This road continues as 4-laned until it reaches Ishokun. The road merges onto a 2 laned road. East of this junction is known as A1.

Although considered Controlled Access, there are several ring roads substituting for grade separations thus are not controlled access.
Nigeria drives on the right.
