It's rainy season right now and September is also the hottest month of the year. Here is what happens on the streets of Port-au-Prince during a rain storm. Usually the storms hit at night but every now and then there is an afternoon storm. When this happens traffic jams occur.
This line of traffic was heading down Delmas 31. Trucks don't have to worry about the roads so much as the smaller vehicles. Rain water always follows a path down hill.
It is every driver for himself/herself at intersections. It sort of is fun sometimes watching vehicle standoffs as each driver refuses to back off for another!
With rain roads turn into obstacle courses and the driver better know the road to avoid deep pot holes and drains without their cover.
It is particularly challenging for motorcycle drivers!
