Can't believe I just saw this thread, but it deserves a bump. Frankly, I cannot even begin to THINK about how such a process is organized. All those pipes, jigs, etc., and nearly all work is manual, incredible.

Thanks, now I'm all bummed out I'm not driving those incredible Italian roads again. I've never been in a country that had such a perfect balance of traffic enforcement.

People say that driving in Italy is horrible and all messed up without any laws and such... but that's purely because it looks like that. In reality, it's all organized and everyone knows what to do and what not.

Yup, couldn't be farther from the truth.

On the highway, trucks are required to stay in the right line out of everyone's way. Cars drive right and pass left. This left lane camping we get in the US simply doesn't exist.

On the back roads, you are free to do whatever you want. When you get to towns, there is a speed camera to make sure you pass through at a reasonable pace. If you are on the back roads and the police are in your way, you just pass them.

Doesn't get any better than that.
