Friday Fun: It's All About Flow -- Stop lights? traffic cops? We don't need no stinkin' stop lights or traffic cops!
Left to their own devices, and setting aside the safety aspect (watch the pedestrian in the lower right at about 1/4 of the way through the video and the white car coming out of the side street at the top right a bit past half way through), traffic flows with less and shorter delays than if lights or cops interfered.
Skill fills in when rules fail.
(hmmm...How about replacing "skill" with "agility"?)
By the way, while this video is from India, my experience on the roads in China is similar, although our guide in Guilin a few years did give us a pair of rules to follow when crossing streets - "Don't make eye contact with drivers and don't hesitate once you start."
That's enough stream of consciousness rambling for today. Have a weekend, folks.
