Caos

This is a typical example of a traffic jam in the Old City. Streets with less than 3 meters width, without sidewalk, of course, all asphalt, and where the pedestrian are almost forbidden (basically, if you go out of your house, (remember, no sidewalk) and a vehicle runs you over, is your fault for crossing on their way!!!). Frequently, these situations are caused because of the lack of urban planning, and the passivity of authorities, neighbors and shop and restaurant owners.

Here, the situation was caused by a truck who wanted to unload some pinball machines, so they decided the best idea was to go opposite direction in the street, because it was shorter way, and cut the traffic for 15 minutes...
