It is the southeast corner and via highway A75 leads from the capital city to the Spin Boldak-Chaman border with Pakistan which is commonly used as a smuggling road
There are two major freeways in Kandahar named Kandahar-herat and Kabul-kandahar highway which Taliban have been continuously tormenting travelers.
Kandahar is also part of the larger network within Afghanistan named the Ring Road or Highway 1
More than 80% of the area is flat land and almost 10% is somewhat mountainous
Over ¾ of the countries roads can handle cars in all seasons where almost 20% are incable during the winter months and just 3% of the country has no roads
Although it does not happen often during the winter months and when the snow starts to melt on the mountains it causes avalanches/mudslides
The major bridge near Kandahar is the Kandahar Arghandab River bridge which have already had mines and other explosives planted on by the Taliban
