Traffic light

Hot 2723 views. 2016-3-23 10:02

When I was a child, I have known red for stop and green for go, every time passed the crossroads, I used to see the traffic light whether there is or not, in red or in green. Gradually I found not every crossroads has it in china. If there isn’t, I have to have a look both ways before I cross the road.

I carry out the concept till I am adult, to be my regular rules in my life, when I see the red light at the cross road, I would never go till the light changed, no matter there is the vehicle or not, doesn’t meaning that I am so stupid and I don’t know how to gain by trickery, of course, I am not fear to dead, if everyone to be a routineer, our life will be more easier and less troubles. If we offer others convenience then we will get the same feedback.

As we grow older, having some experiences, I have gone many places and I have seen some different views including the many streets, even there is the green light, we must be care and fully concentrate the situation before you go, otherwise, you may have close touch with any vehicles. Maybe the sunrise of today will be your last day.

Now I understood that the traffic light cannot be our direction to guarantee our live, it never be this role. There are many accidents to take away our weak lives, every moment we are fighting with the huge different power of death, so we have to learn how to survive in this world, the parents give us the live, so we may have to thank them and thank what you have now. So we must take our full responsibilities for ourselves and for our parents.

Well, in my city Hong Kong, visitors come from every province of China and all countries of the world. Therefore, this is a place to observe the mentality and behavior of people. Traffic lights and crossings are the places where bizarre things happens.

Visitors from China previously did not follow rules and just do whatever is convenient. I have frequently seen them zig zag crossing dangerously on red light without realizing the dangers. This has improved after negative publicity on TV and newspaper. At present, they mostly follow the rules and welcomed.

Visitors from Western countries usually abide by rules and would wait patiently for the green light to cross. Of course, occasionally there would be some drunk guys straddling across in red, but they are mostly rules abiding. Seems it is influenced by their own culture.

Hong Kong people itself are peculiar. Some, especially females, follow the lights steadfastly. Others cross in any light red or green when there is no traffic. There are some who are quite funny and they just follow others to cross without even caring what light is on. We have seen so many serious accidents caused by light jumping. Sometimes, green light does not always means it is safe because there could be drunk, drugged or sleepy drivers.

Everyone should think about the consequences when taking risks. Some say they are not afraid to die but why take such risks just to save a minute. That risk could cause a crippling and a lifelong regret.
