Impressions of Peru: Road traffic
Transport
The taxi drivers are reasonably reliable and they know what is necessary, because as a tourist can not see that is what a one way street now and in which direction. Traffic lights are few, and even less to show some kind of red-yellow-green color combination. Therefore, the main communication is between the road users from using horn and can be adventurous on intersections of several major roads already a bit. Ensure that a functioning horn are at least as important as steering and brakes, the horn is surprisingly quiet and use less aggressive than one would imagine himself as a German Sun. Taxis honk overtake the general, even on single-lane roads, before crossing to announce that they now and no one else to cross this intersection and of course to the attention of unsuspecting tourists to make. The drivers usually have either a rosary or a more or less kitschy combination of Jesus or Mary pictures hanging on the rearview mirror, they touch your thumb and index finger short thanks, when, to the bass terror of the passengers, with screeching tires before another taxi to want to come, that for some reason which probably knows only its driver, is to calmly across the road.
