Glorieta (Traffic Circle)

Walking to the office we pass a Glorieta. It is amazing. It looks more like a triangle than a circle. It has three main roads and three other roads entering and/or leaving. Entering from the direction of our house is a one-way three lane road the splits at the glorieta. The next corner is a two way road, one lane leaving and one coming in. On the third corner is a one way road with three lanes leaving. It only goes over a bridge to another glorieta. In between the streets described there are three other streets leaving or entering (2 are one-way way as are most streets in town). I thought we should get a picture but the day we took the camera was a holiday and there were several policeman in the glorieta working the traffic. If we ride with the President to our apartment we go through three of these but the others have fewer joining streets.





Above is the light holiday traffic. Below is in the direction we travel to go home. This was taken from the steps of the little market we pass going to the office. On the right is a metal sculpture of a bird in the middle of the traffic island.
