Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road, but not everybody follows this basic rule.
__________________________. Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as(只要)they are part of a crowd”, said a post on Sina Weibo.
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road at a crossing in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
__________________________. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University.
The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings from 2008 to 2010. ____________________________.
“People are likely to ignore(忽视)the light when the waiting time is longer than they can stand,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that half of respondents(调查对象)believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard(忽视)rules.
“I always obey traffic rules. ________________________,” wrote “Qixiaoe” on Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum(最大量) can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling on people to respect rules is more important. “__________________________,” Wang Jianping, a professor at Sichuan University, said to Huaxi Metropoli Daily.
