2. Stay to the right of the double yellow line, unless you need more space to pass someone, in which case blink flashers at oncoming traffic before crossing double yellow lines.
3 a. White broken line dividing road into two lanes may be more functionally used by driver if straddled with vehicle, making swerving to whatever side required less jarring to passengers.
3 b. White broken line dividing road into two lanes is only a general suggestion. Three or four lanes works just as well as long as horn is applied appropriately.
4. Red light means stop, unless you don't think it is necessary. Then don't stop.
5. If you have stopped at the red light then the green light means... honk at the other vehicles that also stopped.
6. Honking horn expresses intent if you are the honker.
7. Having a horn honked at you if you are the honkee means absolutely nothing. Keep going your merry way as you would like.
8. Try not to hit pedestrians. Just honk at them.
9. As a pedestrian, DO NOT look both ways. It will only cause anxiety. Just close your eyes, absorb the melodious honking and walk.
10. On a one way street you only go one way unless you need to go the other way, in which case you honk and proceed.
This place would be a dream for any of you in Richmond with a scooter/bike!

ReplyDeleteThe traffic practices sound like the ones I witnessed in China. I imagine the people are just as delightful as the Chinese, and that they are very appreciative of everything you do for them. For you and your team, Amanda, there is nothing as good as giving to others.
ReplyDeleteWhen you come home look up the book, Join the Club by Tina Rosenberg. She talks about influencing others for good - what works and what doesn't.
