San Juan was by far the largest caribbean city I have ever been to. I don't know the population but would guess around one million when the surrounding areas are included. I would much prefer driving in Jamaica than San Juan any day. One morning while driving along the freeway at 5:30am a car raced by me travelling at least 100mph, then shortly after a police car but he was only doing about 80 so I don't think he was chasing the speeder. I don't recall seeing any vehicles being pulled over in San Juan but while driving along the south coast I saw several vehicles pulled over by highway patrol.
It took me a day or 2 to clue in on some of the highway signs, and how to read the exit numbers. Another oddity was that the speed limits are posted in miles per hour but the distance signs are in kilometers. Plus most of the police car have their blue lights flashing all the time.
Something else I am not accustomed to were the constant toll booths along the highway. I probably went thru a dozen in my travels.
