It’s a nice ideal but these aren’t actually usable for long journeys. Just another aspiration that can be used to encourage future projects to fix infrastructure, reduce roadblocks &c
Source: I have driven long sections of three of them. Needed a 4×4 and some luck and many bribes and a lot of time waiting at checkpoints. It was possible, but it was a dramatic adventure, when it *should* have been a simple drive. I wouldn’t dare drive the trans-Sahara ones. Or through Congo or Angola.
