Take a look at this lane next to the motorbike. Continue 100yds after the arrow and something nasty is going to happen to you :laugh:

It seems the road network in Senegal, apart from the dodgy bridge, is copied straight from the French TSRGD.

Yes I've noticed that. Not a bad one to follow, I personally like French road signage.

Ouch. Had a chance to look. If I was Canal Plus I am not sure I would want my stations advertised there.
