Not many stop signs or traffic lights, instead opting for rotundas (the same as England's roundabouts I think). Traffic happens, but much less than what I've seen in North America.
Just few random thoughts to think about

You've got to be kidding me. I'm a big fan of Costa Rica, but come on. The roads in Costa are littered potholes an entire car can fit in. Single lane rickidy bridges and gravel "highways" in some areas. Most roads have no lines and thus people drive anywhere they can fit. The stop signs in Costa Rica don't really mean stop, they mean honk your horn while you drive through them. The traffic might not be as bad, but the quantity of taxi's built in the 1970's and never maintained since driving as fast as they possible can through the smog laden streets of San Jose is no better.
