Road Transport in Senegal: The Challenge of Managing Road Transport Stations/Le Transport Routier Au Senegal : Problematique de la Gestion des Gares Routieres‪.‬

Abstract Dakar with its 3 million people, representing a quarter of the population of Senegal, is experiencing rapid demographic growth. Adding to this pressure is the unequal spatial distribution of economic and social activities. This has led in part to an important degradation of roads and highways, massive congestion and a lack of parking facilities. Too often, cars park anywhere and everywhere. Thus, the need for more parking facilities is urgent. But how should these car pools be managed? What models can be applied? Two management models are presented in this paper. Both are inspired by the Peterson and the Pompier road station since they are among the most important in Senegal.
