98% of Uganda's poorly developed roads, hence hindering movement.

The roads are surfaced with a red earth called murram, this red earth is laid down, partially flattened by hand shovels and then left to be further hardened by traffic and heavy rain. As you might imagine, this soft road surface is very quickly rutted. To make matters worse corrugations appear quite frequently. These are rhythmic wave marks on the beach left by the ebbing tide on hard wet sand, the corrugations are caused when a car has bumped along the rutted road, each bump down deepening a crossways trough. Each car that comes along is caught in these corrugations and not only is similarly bumped but deepens the ruts for the following vehicles.

You may also be interested to know that not only does one suffer a bone jolting journey on such a road, but with in a very few miles one is covered from head to foot in red dust.
The inside of the car is of course dust covered and so are all one's possession.
Early on in life here one learns to travel with luggage as deeply packed away as possible, and one dressed in one's oldest clothes with a scarf or a hat firmly pressed down to cover one's hair.
When it rains, as it does most days for an hour or two in the afternoon, the dust no longer trouble you but the car begin to develop a gentle waltzing movement as the wheels slip from side to side on the soft, wet murram.
