Road Work

I mentioned in an earlier post that some things shock our sense of “normal”. Here is a scene that amazes me.

Much of what gets accomplished here in Mexico is done with manual labor. That includes touching up the center paint lines that separate traffic.

These guys are walking down the center of the highway. There are no warning signs for motorists (other than the flag being carried by one of the members of the crew), no cones, no lane closures, no work trucks. The posted speed limit here is about 50 mph, but many people exceed that, of course. And note the blind curve in the distance…

Watch that blind curve ahead!
