China traffic rules-Be Safety

China traffic rules-Be Safety muTu's Note - Read and Learn Chinese in 5 Minutes Every year a lot of people are killed or injured in road accidents. How can we make crossing roads safer? It is fairly necessary to remember the following China traffic rules. First, when you ride a bike, keep to the right side of the road. Second, do not cross the road or turn left at a red traffic light. Third, give a hand signal if you want to turn or stop. Fourth, before crossing the road, stop and look around.

Always obey traffic rules, and you ‘ll find it much safer to walk or ride on the road. Tips: There are Chinese translations her
