Car ownership in Kandara is exceedingly rare with only the most elite government officials and corporate magnates owning cars. They typically own entire convoys of cars due to the volatile nature of inter-provincial travel under heavily armed guard. Because of this road infrastructure is not highly prioritized in the country with the exception of for commercial and industrial uses. | |||
The majority of Kandara's roads are unpaved and many of them are just traditional tracks throughout the arid landscape. In the 1940s and '50s many main arteries were created and paved between oasises and communities across the desert and along some of the major river basins. However due to the extreme environment and current government system many of these roads have fallen into extreme disrepair or been completely comfort over by sands and no longer formally exist. However along the coastline there are two major arteries the first called Government highway 1 and the second is trunk road 985 which connects the major port cities and hubs along the coast these two roads run primarily in parallel about 50 km apart from each other one of them being reserved for truck traffic and the other being a military road that is used in peacetime by civilian and commercial traffic. | The majority of Kandara's roads are unpaved and many of them are just traditional tracks throughout the arid landscape.

Because of the importance of the mining communities in the mountain areas, the mountain roads are typically better maintained due to foreign investment. These roads are typically paved with good drainage but are used primarily for commercial and industrial truck traffic. There are some civilian roads that can be used by commuters but they are often tolled and due to corruption usage can be fairly low because tolls can be exorbitant. | Because of the importance of the mining communities in the mountain areas, the mountain roads are typically better maintained due to foreign investment.
