Some well placed lights might help things. The key will be if the lights are enforced. I expect to see a few accidents before this is over. Hi Lamar,

It can be done faster but we did some sight seeing. As far as countries go for driving, Guatamala was by far the worst. Its the only place I and the 18 wheeler in front of me have been passed by 3 cars abreast on a blind mountain curve with oncoming traffic on a 2 lane road. Very interesting. Also, Guatemala has the worst corruption (mordidas). The roads are pretty good though. Mexico is the worst for topes (speed bumps), but mostly decent roads. No trouble with policia or immigracion. Costa Rica has the absolute worst roads. El Salvador was absolutely beautiful with great roads, honest officials but the most animals on the road. Honduras was only place we were harassed, but we had everything they asked for and they ran out of excuses to give us a multa. Nicaragua was the poorest country, and a mix of good roads and bad. Beautiful scenery. I'm really saddened that David got a stop light. Technology is not the answer to everything. Lamar I recently spent 13 days driving from the states.

Those guys are really crazy. They are having real bad traffic accidents there. I think the legislative body is flexing the muscle with stiffer fines or there will be no Ticos left to tell the story. Great post, Don. Regards, Omar.- Hi Don:

I was amazed at how many drivers even those damned Rojos Diablos actually stopped at lights and signs in Panama city. In CR they would run over their own grandmother and not even blink!
