I live in a small town in Northern Italy; it is a lively town with a lot of traffic that's why there are many roundabouts and traffic lights. I can walk on the pavement along the side of the road to go to the city centre where there is a beautiful big Square and a Castle.

The city where i live is one of the populated city of India. It is the capital of India. Near by my locality. i can see streetlights which enlighten the street at night. There is bye pass road by which you can enter in main locality. on which the heavy traffic passes through out the day. but no worry, it is managed with the help of traffic lights, crossroads and round about. people usually take buses to go office. for which they need to wait on bus stop. pedestrian use pavement to walk along the side of road, to cross the road there is a facility of zebra crossing, under pass and subway.

I am living in a middle class community surrounded by safe neighbors. My city is very spacious and roads are wide enough to handle ongoing traffics. We have many roundabouts than traffic lights which make driving safe. Each and every road has designated pavement area for pedestrians. Most of the dark corners in city covered by street lights which illuminate during night time. Our city has complicated but convenient public transport system which also provide late night service. In the center of the city we have large square where people meet after their working hours to relax and chat about their social life. The most important thing I like about my city is, people are friendly and welcoming.
