Q: The intersections are way too big, and that's the problem. Give em an inch and they'll take a mile.
Must be the biggest, widest intersections in the world. Talk about an incentive to let the nongs go wild. Gay abandon looks mild compared to these...these...
What do you do at intersections?
8 years 6 weeks ago in Health & Safety - China
I don't drive, but I walk and sometimes ride a bike through a few big intersections every day. There are traffic lights but you can't rely on anyone stopping for them so you need to look four ways at the same time and keep your wits about you.
I found that crossing on the zebra crossing isn't always the safest place. That's often where traffic converges from every direction and turns into a nightmare of having to look four ways at the same time.
It's better to cross the road (jaywalk) a few meters back from the intersection, that way you only need to look two ways.
In chinese traffic, you are the only real law at at times...always keep that in mind.
