Are traffic rules strictly respected or enforced in Costa Rica?

Are there any unspoken rules, unexpected habits or regulations that you had to adapt to?

Are the roads safe and well-maintained?

If you have children, do you feel comfortable letting them travel alone on local roads, whether on foot, by bike, or motorbike?
