Traffic Rules

Pedestrians should walk on the right side of the road. All vehicles, including bicycles should travel on the left side.

It is every pedestrian's and driver's responsibility to follow traffic rules and signals. If drivers have a green light, they expect pedestrians to follow traffic signals strictly and may not slow down.

Please stop at the red light whenever and wherever to avoid any accidents. When crossing a crosswalk at a green light, pedestrians should watch for vehicles making right or left turns.

Drivers may NOT turn right at a red light, which is legal in some countries. When the main traffic signal is red, drivers must follow the green arrow signals for turning or continuing straight.
