It?s what I would describe as organic meaning that the pattern changes constantly unlike the West where people tend to stick in their lanes and obey traffic signals. Everyone gives a bit to let another bike/trike/motorcycle/car to fit into existing space. Everyone expects everyone else to behave irrationally. Traffic signs and signals are hints rather than absolute must-obey. Surprisingly, I have never seen signs of road rage in Beijing or Shenzhen. Everyone just get along. :) Regards, Spencer On Sep 24, 2014, at 14:04, Tina Manley <tmanley at gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, Gerry. Just point and go for it!
