Countries face the road of civilization
, told reporters. Face as a country road, demonstrating the country's social human; it like a mirror, more or less reflects the degree of civilization. Unfortunately, the road in the country, all kinds of uncivilized phenomenon can be seen everywhere, with the foreign media called the country's image To help readers better understand the order of some of the road experience of countries,
U.S.: humility is common sense
courtesy of specification. Even in the crowded, narrow roads of the metropolis, can maintain order and discipline of the road. Americans have little by car horns, unless your poor driving skills, blocking people's way, or after the car door to remind you what's good. In China, many people regard the speaker as a tool to vent their anger.
in the United States on the road, pedestrians are the Traffic rules pay attention to As long as the pedestrian light is a light, all vehicles must stop to give way, many American women simply looked straight ahead when crossing the street, because they usually used to be courteous, and now no one will cut in with them. Communities in the city, campus or office space near the road, usually dedicated pedestrian access and speed limit signs to alert motorist attention to pedestrian safety.
in the United States, The vehicle had to stop until the child can not start on the road.
courtesy of American humility on the road to reporters left a deep impression. Americans see time as life, but they strive to become a gentleman when driving. Reporters who arrived in the United States met with the In cities with large vehicles, such as New York, it is inevitable the two sides met in the absence of traffic lights at the crossroads of vehicles quitting the situation, if each side can easily lead to congestion. Basically, there is no such American problems. People often pursue the effort to smooth out.
degree of civilization of a country road with its legal system and is closely related to civic and moral awareness. United States is the rule of law, traffic rules are regarded as legal norms, such as non-compliance will be severely punished. For example, in Washington, DC urban area, public parking is very tight time charges are generally coin, watch patrol spot checks at any time, once after a time, even a few minutes, will affix a ticket, or simply to tow away. This not only ensures the efficient use of parking spaces, but also to prevent the phenomenon of street parking chaos. Of course, the eyes of the police can not be everywhere, or by the case of more conscious citizen. New York City, many of the junctions no camera, no police checks, but people see the side of the road when the red stop signs, or will stop the car. If someone speeding through a red light, behind the vehicle or even the police.
, of course, when Americans are uncivilized, encountered severe traffic jam holiday home, it was also anxious BS-ing. Last year, the New Orleans flood, people drive great retreat, a wall for hours on the highway, car horns ringing. However, journalists with the experience of driving in the country comparison, the road of civilization that people are still to be improved. Some people complain about road vehicles less, in fact, to the number of cars in Beijing, Shanghai, far less density of vehicles in New York, Los Angeles and more, in addition to the guidance of the government administration, the key is how the legal awareness of citizens and the state of mind.

South Korea: The emergency lights apologize or thank
remember early Korea,UGG boots cheap, vehicles and ordered journalists to leave the South Korean transport to the profound first impression. Time living in Korea, the reporter does not always consciously heart in front of large cities compared with the domestic situation.
in South Korea, drivers will comply with red light stop, green for the rules. Always stood on the sidewalk waiting for the end of the pedestrian lights change, even if no vehicles through, but also patience, watching the color of the sidewalk lights, a phenomenon rarely seen looting lights. In particular, are generally not in the absence of pedestrian zebra crossing where jaywalking. Korean waiting for a bus, even if only a few people, will in earnest teams ranked by order of the car.
the street early in the Korean drive into the front of the reporter found that some people will flash emergency lights from the beginning, very puzzled, and later learned that this is to apologize, thanks or the understanding of the meaning of the request. While this is not the traffic rules in the project, but everyone recognized, has been second nature. When the rush and the line, and playing the first line of lights, call the emergency lights, people will let it. This practice may reduce the number of road dispute. A driver can get off you can not find such a means of communication, is a good choice.
Korea attaches great importance to social civilization and education, school social ethics course there is the road of civilization in the relevant content. I remember when a light fine on the sidewalk, a child does not see the car, took my father's hand to walk on the zebra crossing, zebra crossing lights pointing father and asked children to see what color the lights out? Children look to understand. (Special correspondent in Korea / Shen Lin)
Europe: the road of civilization countries. But reporters in Germany for many years, although hardly any traffic police on the streets, but the road is always orderly.
arrived in Germany, the reporter always used to stand to wait before crossing the vehicles speeding by, but the car was take the initiative to stop, driving people to fight gestures to a reporter first, the reporter that hit the courtesy people, they waved thanks. To the Driving School car I know that this is the right of pedestrians, no thanks. In Germany, respect for human beings is reflected in every road traffic. No wonder, the German people would say,
Similarly, in front of pedestrians, the driver will not honk at pedestrians get out of the hands, but after waiting for pedestrians aware of their own out of the way; or driving slowly behind, to find ways to bypass the pedestrians. Pedestrian crossing is absolute security line. Sometimes, pedestrians, even if there is a little distance away from the crossing, the car will stop, and other pedestrians cross the zebra crossing. In addition, as the trains in Germany, like the bus on time, almost at once. Passengers were queuing on the car, the car with the elderly, the disabled, special seats, passengers can not and will not generally use these seats.
German driver's license for the first time pass rate of less than half. Once the violation, the driver will not only be fine and demerit points, the illegal situation will be published online in the future to drive car and enjoy the associated social welfare will be affected. In addition to the strict regulatory constraints, the public is very conscious. Once, a reporter riding in a green path through and found an old man kept waving to reporters, they stop asking, just know this is not dedicated bike paths, only by foot or trolley. Germany is also the road of civilization began to develop an early age. If sales of some well-known car companies have a special standing in the hall of electric cars, often with children, where adults
the German government at all levels of civilization for the launch of the road, German cities on both sides can stop most of the road. For the full and effective use of space, traffic management by traffic conditions, points of time and location, planning a time-limited and unlimited, paid and free parking with a different form. In addition, public spaces also bike racks everywhere,UGG bailey button, and stalls for centralized management, regular fixed-point open. Intelligent control signal for Germany,UGG boots, if no motor vehicle access, pedestrian crossing the red light time can be reduced in advance to switch to green; If this time a considerable flow of people, you can extend the green light to the crosswalk. Studies have shown that pedestrians on the red light intersection patient waiting time limit is 60 seconds, so the red light the longest no more than 60 seconds.
the situation in many European countries and Germany is somewhat similar. Britain is the right-hand drive car, so driving on the road riding with many countries and different direction. Who first arrived in the United Kingdom out of habit, often crossing the street wrong direction, risk will ensued. So tourists gathered in the big cities, it will be very careful with the paint brush on the arrow on the road, and
and similar domestic situation, the United Kingdom also are everywhere on the road the camera, mainly for anti-terrorism considerations, of course, can play the role of traffic management. In the UK, often into camera range in the car before the roadside signs will be prompted several times, the driver will be informed about to be monitoring his behavior,UGG shoes, so that illegal acts will be stopped early.

Thailand: there are three strategies to deal with traffic jam traffic jams in Bangkok
, Let's talk about traffic jam story, everyone has a pile. June of this year, It took more than two hours on the road, only a few kilometers. Really bear to a Kuwaiti journalist, asked to get off back to the hotel. Spend more than an hour, the bus finally dawdle to the hotel, impatient man who had been sit tight in the lobby, and refrain from drinking tea.
Bangkok, more than 600 million people, nearly 300 million vehicles. Did not come before, according to Beijing experience, imagine the exposure to the marine vehicle, left and right conflict, fear not help heart health. However, after six months of life here, but found that Bangkok traffic jams, the original is not so terrible. Careful observation, Thailand adept skills to deal with traffic jams erudite.
First, the Bangkok's traffic lights more complicated, left-right lines, straight strictly separate, basically only put a car in one direction. Large intersection, traffic light rotation time, eight minutes is not such a very rare. No matter how long the front row of the team, we all turn at the back, quiet and wait; few people mess stopper, no cars honking.
second is Driving in Bangkok, extension to the main line, turning to get straight that strict compliance with the rules, even the left (equivalent to China's right), it must give way to direct traffic. I lived in place, out of the gate is the road, each time out the front door a little bit first, look at both sides, when no car to go out, wait a thirty-five minutes of the day. Usually on the way to go, not to turn a car back and forth very little change lines. If you want to change lines, open the turn signal, after the Mets take the initiative to slow down cars to give way. Beijing will not like it, you do not turn lights already open, opened strongly after the car but will not let you do.
third is the Bangkok streets are not wide, but also by a very narrow lane. Two-lane road in Beijing, Bangkok to mark the three to have been. Such a narrow road, the speed is also surprisingly fast, open city 80 kilometers per hour are common. Started feeling a little jumpy, afraid of the two cut a trail car brushed against. A long time that Bangkok, the accident rate is extremely low, unlike in the road every few days in Beijing to see rear-end, cut rub accident. In fact, the accident rate is the main reason we all follow the rules, when to go, when to let each other very well. It is also because of speed, makes the head of the queue can not see a green light to have finished.
Bangkok many things if the concept of traffic management in accordance with Beijing is not common sense to judge. Beijing road motorcycles prohibited on the grounds that disrupt traffic; Bangkok car better than a small motorcycle, but orderly, and even become a useful complement to the car. Really a bit urgent, playing two rounds of vehicles, Speed limit everywhere in Beijing, said that in order to reduce accidents: Bangkok, no camera, and never check speeding, the accident rate is much lower than Beijing. Beijing traffic police are very strict penalties, such as non-compliance does not improve the consciousness; peak hours, Bangkok intersection traffic lights the whole hand under control by the traffic police, who was busy all day breaking the traffic lights, there is little time for a ticket, traffic But good order. These contrasts allow journalists to feel, road traffic management more civilized and also on civic self-restraint, in fact, need only follow a simple principle: the expense of the individual, the immediate convenience, for the overall, long-term efficiency.
Learned to drive in the United States and Europe who say Bangkok did not dare to drive cars too much, too fast. Learned to drive in Bangkok who say not to drive back to China, order too messy, high tension, driving like a war. The country also has such a joke, learn to drive in Beijing are not afraid of people all over the world. (in Thailand correspondent / REN Jian-min)
