Traffic

Ahhh the trrraffic of Lima! (to be said with a Spanish accent and rolled rrrr). Peru has stop signs and road markings like any big city. HOWEVER. Drivers run stop signs like they're not even there and the MAY flash their brights through intersections to signal that they're coming through (so other cars actually stop). They create 5-6 lanes on a 2 lane road. They'll drive on sidewalks to pass the car in front of them. Linda made a great observation in saying it's like playing chicken - who's gonna give in first? They do adhere to stop lights surprisingly, but that's about it. It's really insane!
