If you haven't gone to the beach during a Costa Rican holiday and you're planning on doing it - ESPECIALLY during
Easter•Samana Santa and Christmas-New Years•Navidad-Año Nuevo

and you haven't done your MEGA PATIENCE Meditation (or medication), you're in for a "SURPRISE!!!!" (ok - so LOTS of Frustration and DEEP breathing) as you think driving on the roads of Costa Rica on a regular day can be a nightmare . . . IMAGINE THOUSANDS of people wanting to take the faster highway to the beach (it does shave off about 45-60 minutes on a REGULAR day!!) ALL on the normally just 2 lanes in either direction
Caldera Carretera•Highway #27 - aka Pista del Sol!!
(add to that how if there's an accident you MUST stop dead in your tracks & not move an inch till all the PROPER people show up like the Transito Police and your insurance company [and hopefully not an INS ambulance]).

So what they do to help the flow of traffic • traffic jams is turn 2 of the lanes (one direction) so they're ALL going the SAME DIRECTION based on the popular•busiest times.
