The Glories of the Glorietta


Known as "Round abouts" in some places, these types of intersections are very popular here. It is hard to see from this photo, but this glorietta near our house has two lanes and traffic signals on it. People here drive really fast and don't hesitate to cut in on you or honk at you if you are not going as fast as they think you should. It's a bit hairy at first but you find yourself flying right in there without much thought after awhile. There is a four lane strip in the middle with arterial roads on each side of "Deiz y ocho de Marzo", the bigger of the two streets meeting here.
