About these names

Roads are crowded and slow; distances in kilometres mislead. Add 50 to 100 percent at rush hour and in rain.

The city runs along a peninsula about 10 km long. Downtown and Providence Island are at the tip, Mamba Point and Ducor Hill are just north, Sinkor is the long strip southeast, and Bushrod Island is across the river bridges. Almost every journey is a car ride.
