NanChang traffic

Our guide said if you can drive in NanChang you can drive anywhere. Unfortunately I cannot attach the video right now since it is too large of a file. Although after watching traffic for a couple days it does not seem that hard - just throw out any driving rules you remember. I never knew watching an intersection could be so entertaining! For example - if you are on a scooter, on foot, or on a bicycle don't pay any attention to the traffic lights. The traffic lights seem to be optional and only for cars and buses. If you want to pull into oncoming traffic for any reason - no problem. If you want to make a left just pull into the oncoming lane and cut over into oncoming traffic. Want to cross the street on foot? Just walk straight across diagonally. Want to carry a 10 foot pipe on your bicycle in the middle of the street? Not a problem. Want to ride your scooter into oncoming traffic or on the sidewalk? No problem once again. If someone turns left in front of you just pull into the oncoming lane to avoid it.
Maybe before we leave I will work up the guts to cross the street.
