Driving in any city in Myanmar will leave you feeling exhilarated upon arrival at your destination, if for no other reason than that you arrived alive. Busy intersections rarely have stoplights, let alone signage regarding stopping or yielding, even in major cities like Mandalay. Crossing an intersection is done by slowly moving forward while waiting for a small gap in the cross traffic. As soon as there’s a break, race to the other side at full speed. And, when there is a stoplight, a system allows vehicles to start crossing before the light turns green. Everyone seems to realize this is dangerous and care is taken by most drivers. Still, it can be pretty scary when a driver comes too close for comfort.
