The traffic in my country is complicated, almost nobody is comply with the laws of traffic. They usually ride bicycles or motorists on the pavement which is only for the walker. When traffic lights are still red they are gone already, such situations are very dangerous. They don't take their time. And they don't interested in the safety of other people. The pavement is a place of business and parking. I feel afraid when I have to go to work every day. Currently, I hope the traffic situation improves better.

Near my home I can see a big parking. My road is very small, so two cars can't move at the same time. If you meet another car, you have to stop. There aren't pavements. My town is little and there is a square near the church. There are many traffic lights and in the biggest roads there are roundabout.

Before, I was confused between crossroads and crossing. There are so many traffic lights and street lights in my city. In some roundabouts, they grow beautiful flowers. Pavements in my area are always filled with different stuff.
