Kabul Traffic

Just before I left Kabul today I saw a programme on Al Jazeera about the traffic situation in Kabul. The report said that during the Soviet time there were 60 traffic lights in Kabul and only 50 000 cars, now there are 600 000 cars but only one (newly rehabilitated) traffic light. I suppose that says something about the traffic situation. But considering that I must say it works surprisingly well!
