There were just a bunch of guys in orange vests working in the middle of the road. There were no barriers protecting them and no signs. The guys were dodging cars while trying to jackhammer.

I figured they would be exaggerations, but they are amazingly true.

It's neat how driving laws are basically taken as suggestions and order emerges out of apparent chaos. Everything we read and heard about Tico drivers being crazy is completely true.
