Despite the local authorities cracking down on jaywalking lately, it seems that it’s the only way to go in Guangzhou, as the pedestrian crossing signal at a traffic light in the city’s Luogang District was recently shown to last for only one second. Understandably, this makes it rather difficult for pedestrians to cross the 35 meter-long road in time, and many have since voiced their complaints to the authorities.
While the authorities have promised to do something about it, it does come as a blow to the government’s “civilized” traffic regulation moniker, as, in this particular instance, jaywalking is really the only choice for pedestrians.
