There are motorbikes everywhere in Bali. There are up to 4 or 5 people on some of them so be extra careful if you are driving there. They will let a 2 year old stand and hold on to the handlebars while they drive along the narrow roads. It would make a cute picture but the kid has no protection if they crash.
Usually it is the mother and father and a couple of kids and maybe their pet dog and a bag of groceries on one bike.
Last night a friend grabbed his 1 1/2 year old daughter and held her under his left arm while zipping up a one way street against traffic to drop her off with her mother. It is common here.
Once you get used to it everything seems normal and seems to flow smoothly even though ar first glance it appears to be total chaos.
Stop signs don’t mean a whole lot and one way is considered to be just for large vehicles. The biggest vehicle always has the right of way. Stick to the left side of the road but someone comming at you making a right turn might squeeze between you and the curb if the traffic is heavy.
It’s normal.
