[Rain Man]

Here's an interesting bit of trivia for you. Antananarivo has at least 1.3 million people, and as far as we could tell, they have no stop lights or stop signs. We were staying in the middle of the city and never saw one.

My guess is that infrastructure is expensive and labor is cheap, because on the busier streets they had traffic cops posted to direct traffic.

Also, we saw three types of police. There were guys like this, who were less common and seemed to be traffic directors. Then there were guys in cool French Legionnaire hats who were "gendarmes", though they also seemed to be traffic directors. Finally, there were guys with "police" vests, but otherwise they looked like soldiers with fatigues and automatic rifles. Those guys were all over the place.
