The Pan America (Ruta 5), about 500km south of Santiago. It's a high standard D2 toll road all the way down to Puerto Montt which is just over 1000km south of the capital. Taken 18th April 2008.

Photo I took from a bus back in November 2002, just across the border into Chile, about here:

Well sort of - the autopista runs along under the river here! And a rare hint of the Andes in the background. They're not usually visible due to the smog.

Avenida Provedencia near Baquedano metro station, Santiago. Chile uses UK style give way markings and these are just visible under the cars waiting on the roundabout. Taken 3rd April 2008.

A box junction, give way triangle and double dashed lines in central Santiago. This is near Barrio Brasil, where I was staying this time last year. They don't use the single dashed line for entering a side road but the 'ceda el paso' markings are very familiar.

In addition to the modern service stations along Ruta 5 there are rest areas with toilets, picnic tables and even a playground for the kids. This one is a couple of hours north of Puerto Montt.

Looking east along Avenida Andrés Bello near Bellavista. The Costanera Autopista runs under the river along this section. Pretty Impressive!
