Ivory Coast road network spreads over 85 000&nbsp;km consisting of 75 000 unpaved, 65 000&nbsp;km, and 224&nbsp;km highways. It provides national and international traffic with neighbor countries.

The [[Trans–West African Coastal Highway]] provides a paved link to [[Ghana]], [[Togo]], [[Benin]] and [[Nigeria]], with paved highways to landlocked [[Mali]] and [[Burkina Faso]] feeding into the coastal highway. When construction of roads and bridges in [[Liberia]] and [[Sierra Leone]] is complete, the highway will link to another seven [[Economic Community of West African States]] (ECOWAS) nations to the west and north-west. At the national level, vehicles are estimated at 600 000, which includes 75% of used cars (second hand) due to the low purchasing power since the beginning of the economic crisis. 20 000 new cars are registered every year.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Côte d'Ivoire {{!}} izf.net {{!}} Transport routiers ferroviaires et maitimes|url = http://www.izf.net/annuaire-pays/c-te-divoire?field_contact_pays_cat_tid=863|website = www.izf.net|access-date = 2016-01-08}}</ref> Although maintenance and renovations works are being carried out since middle-2011, over 80% of the Ivorian network is older than 20 years and therefore damaged.

In addition, a significant traffic exists throughout Abidjan. This traffic is mainly composed of taxi, buses and mini-buses locally referred to as ''Gbaka.''

The country counts with two 4-laned '''motorways''', the first one running from [[Abidjan]] to [[Yamoussoukro]] for a length of 224&nbsp;km., and the second joining [[Abidjan]] to [[Grand-Bassam]], with a length of 30&nbsp;km. Both are built with modern technologies and under international standards of security.
