Thought I’d add a quick note about driving in Slovenia. Driving here has been just fine. I mentioned in a previous post about speed limits (the fact there for much of the highways there aren’t any really) and its true on the smaller roads too. I’m regularly passed by others eager to get to where they are going. And I’m going 10kmh or more over the speed limit (where there is one) already! And lots of round-abouts. But I love round-abouts. They are so civilised and efficient. Much better than traffic lights.
But speaking of traffic lights (and there are plenty of those too, mainly in towns of course), that is my one complaint. Here, they put their traffic lights on same side of the intersection where you stop (as opposed to across the intersection, like they are in much (all?) of North America). That means, when you are the first in line at a stop light, it is really hard to see the lights. You either look way up, or look far left or right. It’s just dumb. The fact that they turn red and yellow together briefly before green is good, but their placement, just dumb.
So that’s my driving mini-rant
