The wonder of traffic lights in Somaliland

Please visit http://www.simonreeve.co.uk for more information. Simon Reeve explains why traffic lights are so important in Somaliland, while making his TV series Places That Dont Exist.

Among the countries he visited are Somaliland and Somalia, South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Georgia, Taiwan and China, Transdniestria and Moldova, and Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The Daily Telegraph said the series was exemplaryrivetingeye-openingremarkablesuperb. Radio Times said: Delightfulsharpfirst class; and the Daily Mail said it was: Unmissable.
