Answer 1

Take a look at the road conditions today. Quite a few pedestrians and cyclists behave as if there were no traffic rules at all. They cross roads anywhere they like, even though there are zebra-crossing line just a few yards away. Some even put themselves at risk taking short cuts by climbing dividers in the middle of the roads. Many drivers act like F1 racers on the highways. They drive at considerable speeds without care. They usually speed through zebra-crossing lines, even when pedestrians are there. When there is a red light at an intersection, pedestrians or cyclists never tend to pause or stop. They all forget where they are. Sometimes there are some crazy people driving on the roads without driving license, or worse, drink and drive, which can make the road into a bloody battle field.

       Why do such things happen? In my opinion, it is just due to their lack of moral duty that people ignore various traffic rules, road safety, or even the lives of the others. This leads to their bad and reckless behavior, which makes the traffic conditions go from bad to worse. It is believed that something should be done to improve the whole situation. Then road safety won’t be a problem and traffic conditions won’t be a bother to us anymore.
