In my city we have some traffic lights but some people don't follow the rules with their cars, you should be careful when you drive

Currently, I'm living in apartment near the crossroad. So there is really noises of cars and bikes at night. I couldn't sleep well. I'm thinking to move the place where away from crossroads.

Near my house there are many corners, numerous signposts, several street lights and of course the pavement.

I usually drive from my home in the countryside to my work at university. I cross many crossroads and roundabouts on my trajectory, but never traffic lights. There're many cars, buses and lorries on the roads, though I generally never face to rush hours since I'm not bounded by time. This'd because I go and return whenever I want!

I live in the capital of Poland. There are many crossroads, roundabouts etc. On each corner of the street there are traffic lights and street lights to make roads look brighter and to  make people feel safe. 

I dont usually see trafiic but I believe that the city is really crowded in the rush hour. Thats why I always use my bicycle to move from one place to another. It is really easy, even if you don't know the city well because Warsaw has signposts everywhere.

In the capital city of Myanmar, Nay Pyi Taw has many wide roads, traffic lights, street lights and  especially roundabouts. At the corner of  the main roads and streets, there has signposts that show which shops or restaurants are located in. So, you can easily find out the place where you want to.

Now I live in a big city. There are many crossroads, roundabouts and traffic lights. At rush hour there are traffic jams. In my window I can see road and crossroads. Fortunately, there are good pavements for walking.

From my window I can see roads, pavements, street lights and too much traffic, but what I would really like to see or having near my home it's a square.
