A Kiwi teaching English to oil workers in Beijing, studying Chinese in my spare time, married to a beautiful Beijing lass, consuming vast quantities of green tea (usually Xihu Longjing/西湖龙井, if that means anything to you), eating good food (except for when I cook), missing good Kiwi ale, breathing smog, generally living as best I can outside Godzone and having a good time of it.

  1. I’ll believe it when I see it. In Kunming it seems that the driver does not have to yield to pedestrians while making a right turn, even if the pedestrians have the right-of-way. Ordinarily I’d ascribe it to traffic anarchy in China but Kunming has a fairly elaborate system of pedestrian traffic lights as well as traffic cops manning busy intersections during rush hour. Is this common elsewhere?

  2. Patience, Matt. If they’re just beginning today, and that’s only officially it’s going to take quite some time to for these “better trained” drivers to work their way through the systems and start driving safely.

    And what you describe sounds perfectly normal to me.
