Now, if they'd just start teaching e-bikers how to NOT stop in pedestrian crossings...

Nothing will happen in Kunming. It would require the police to actually do something!

My view may not be popular, but I sort of like all of the pedestrian and traffic chaos. It is a cultural feature of China that is different than where I come from, and I enjoy it.

I liked the chaos. too... for a while.

Until I saw a few very bad accidents. Not including the times, I was hit by cars or scooters.

I liked it when there weren't that many scooters and the chaos was mostly bicycles and pedestrians.

In my opinion crossing the road safe is better then a preserved traffic culture while bleeding out in the street. :)

I too liked it when there was more bicycles than e-bikes or cars.

Another example of short-sightedness and reactionary action on the part of the government officials. Instead of looking at the issue carefully and determining the reason why people jaywalk, they simply fine people who jaywalk. How about fining cars that don't obey traffic rules. How about giving time to pedestrians to actually safely cross the road instead of this sh!t where pedestrians have to yield to cars and buses making right hand turns, and in some intersections left hand turns as well. How about building crosswalks be it bridges or tunnels at reasonable places and intervals instead of having a major shopping plaza in between two intersections that is 1 km apart. How about....I'm tired of ranting.

The End

They started fining jaywalkers in Shanghai years ago. There is very little jaywalking there now. It was however supported by a lot of media coverage.
It is not fair to blame it all on parked cars. I have been driving down a six lane urban highway, line of trees, with a wide cycle track, another line of trees and a wide separate sidewalk. Then you get to avoid the families walking four abreast on the highway.
Why? My guess is that they have no notion of the danger they are in. Do they teach road safety in China, or just Math, etc.? [rhet]

It's a game of frogger.

Its a more of a kind of anti- frogger surely, unless you prefer to jump on the moving vehicles

Cool, another "crackdown," meaning police will care about this issue until the end of the month, after which they will forget about it until approximately the same time next year.
