  17. Traffic Regulations Traffic Regulations Before you get your visa to go to Canada or the USA or wherever, you must study the laws of that country. When you do go abroad, always obey the Laws. Many laws are different in each country around the world. China is very loose with traffic laws, but strict on other laws. Follow these laws. 1) Do not walk in the street. Walk on the sidewalk. Walking in the street is very dangerous. A policeman will give you an expensive ticket if he sees you. Plus, your strange activity may cause an accident. 2) Only cross the street at a green light on the corner. Much of China's traffic problems are from walkers (pedestrians) or cyclists (bike riders) not obeying the laws. 3) When driving a car: understand that in some countries they drive on the right side (like China): USA, France, South America, Canada... But some countries they drive on the left side, Britain, Japan, Thailand, Australia...Look both ways before you cross the street. Look twice just to be safe. Be tolerant of different countries’ traffic regulations.

  18. Traffic Regulations 4) If you do drive a car, DO NOT pull the emergency parking brake at a stoplight. That is being a RUDE DUDE and is dangerous. It is also against the law. Pay attention to the traffic regulations no matter how small. This is dangerous because a white light illuminates from your back end telling everyone behind you that YOUR CAR IS BROKEN OR PARKED FOR A LONG TIME! 5) Always wear your seat belt. Even if you are in the back seat, try to wear your seat belt at all times. It is the law in some countries, and it is safe. Also, children under 2 must be in a special child safety seat. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Obey this law to the letter. 6) Don’t drive too SLOW. That's right some driver drive too slow. This is also dangerous. Some strict police officers will fine you or arrest you for driving too slow. Common sense dictates that this is rude. Have a safe and fun trip abroad.
