Perhaps trees down there harbor some nasty red liquid-gel-like stuff. On the other hand, from the photo, it looks like the liquid did, indeed, spread to other parts of the cutting surface.

Libertador is a wide avenue – I think it’s 9 or 10 lanes wide through a large portion. This was in the area around near the Polo grounds, the racetrack, and some other sporting related arenas. The trees are fairly old, and rather big, lining one side of the street, and they do tend to overhang the first couple of lanes, which seemed to be what they were cutting back along a several block section.

So, if this is chain oil, how come it’s limited to just the rim under the bark and isn’t spread throughout the cutting surface?

The red stuff is chain oil, used to lubricate the chain while it’s cutting through the wood. Is there a tree overgrowth problem on the streets of BA?
