Mile 17

Mile 17 is an area in Buea, in the South West region of Cameroon. It hosts the car park for those travelling out of the town, the Government Teachers Training College, a rest park at the roundabout, commercial areas and other interesting sites.
History
The Mile 17 Roundabout is the gateway to Buea, Fako Division, and the other five divisions of the South West Region It is common to see people sitting on pavements, clearly demarcated by various beautiful flowers. But what is enjoyed by many today has in previous years suffered neglect and dilapidation.
Geography
Prior to the tarring of the Mutengene-Muea-Kumba road, the Mile 17 Roundabout used to carry a pitiful image. For instance, the roundabout's surrounding used to be enclosed with banisters. The whitewash had completely fallen off some of them, while others were broken, with pieces littering the area.
