Editing Transport in Senegal (section)

===International highways===
Dakar is the endpoint of three routes in the [[Trans-African Highway network]]. These are as follows:
*[[Cairo-Dakar Highway]] which crosses the edge of the [[Sahara]]
*[[Dakar-Ndjamena Highway]] which links the countries of the [[Sahel]], also called the Trans-Sahelian Highway
*[[Dakar-Lagos Highway]] running along the West African coast and called by the [[Economic Community of West African States]] (ECOWAS) the [[Trans–West African Coastal Highway]] (though ECOWAS considers this route to start in [[Nouakchott]], [[Mauritania]]).
 
Senegal's road network links closely with those of [[the Gambia]], since the shortest route between south-western districts on the one hand and west-central and north-western districts on the other is through the Gambia.
