| The Crossroads by my house - traffic lights not working and no police present |
The horrendous driving in Libya is a constant source of amusing/horror stories. Every day I have to go across a junction (from left to right above) on the way to work. The traffic lights no longer work, which is a good thing as you're better off knowing that no one will stop than assuming they will stop because a light is red. There is always a police car parked up, maybe it hasn't got an engine. Sometimes the police get out and try to direct the traffic, on those days the jams are really bad. GoogleEarth shows it at a typically chaotic moment, but this natural law does work and is better than the two controlled alternatives.
For true traffic fans it's at: Lat: 32°47'41.99"N , Long: 13° 1'24.32"E
