The city of Lima is BIG and super busy, with millions of people on foot and in cars. There are traffic lights at maybe 5% of the intersections and no stop signs anywhere to be found. Instead, there are speed bumps at the intersections on the street that is mean't to yeild. Cars miss smashing into one another by millimeters constantly, and someone can be heard honking a car horn at all times The funny thing is, I think there are more accidents in the States than in Peru. Because here, you pay attention every second or you crash. Back home, everyone is blindly chatting on thier cell phone just hoping that nothing appears in front of them unexpectedly.
