It is a traffic nightmare for Yaoundé residents to cross the “carrefour Trois statues” roundabout during rush hour. “The secret is to get out early in the morning. Otherwise, you will always be late because of traffic jam,” a taxi driver advised a worried passenger. The roundabout was redesigned a year ago. But so far, traffic is not always very fluid. The situation is similar to that of the Tropicana roundabout at the south entrance of the city.

The former Minister, Clobert Tchatat, said “Yaoundé will breathe better” and the “Cameroon will live better”. It was inspired by Paul Biya’s: “As long as Yaoundé breathes, Cameroon is alive”.
This is why government is planning to build two interchanges at these roundabouts in these areas. The Ministry of the Economy, Planning, and Regional Development declared that the feasibility studies of these projects are almost completed.

Some 41.7 billion CFA francs (€ 63 million) are needed for these projects and the Cameroon government is still looking for partners to fund the projects.
