Driving in India
Here's a fascinating video clip on You Tube of an busy intersection in India without a traffic signal. Traffic flows surprisingly well. Motorists and cyclists all approach cautiously, then move slowing into the gaps as others do the same. I suspect the intersection would be more of nightmare with a traffic light. There's growing evidence that the more types of users on the road, such as cyclists, pedestrians, etc., the safer the road becomes because motorists become more aware of non-motorized traffic. |
