Road traffic
The network of roads and highways has a total length of 295 km. For each of the country's 8,128 inhabitants, this corresponds to 36.29 meters. This puts Cook Islands in 12th place in the global ranking. However, it is also important to note that the country's population density is very low at around 34 inhabitants per km². In this case, disproportionately long distances generally have to be covered to reach the more remote parts of the country. On the Cook Islands, left-hand traffic is the rule on the roads, i.e. you drive in the left lane and overtake on the right. Oncoming traffic comes to meet you on the right side. Here you can also find an overview of all countries with left-hand traffic.Cook Islands | |||
