　　I am often very afraid to cross-large wide streets. I always go to the traffic light and use the crosswalk, but many times I have been frightened. When the light changes to green I still need to look both directions to check the traffic. On many occasions a speeding motorcycle or bicycle or once a truck drove past the red light and across the pedestrian's path. When I have my bicycle, I get off and walk across the street, but always someone crosses the red light. Once at the intersection near the shopping mall I saw an accident: a taxi had stopped for the light, and another truck came from behind and did not stop. For safety, it is very important for everyone to obey the traffic laws.

　　So far, traffic restriction has been put into effect for more than one year in Beijing. And people do witness the changes. But as to its influence on the environment, no agreement has been reached yet.

　　The following opinions have been popular among the people. Many people believe that traffic restriction brings evangel to the environment since it means fewer cars on the road, thus less waste gas and resource consumption. Some are pessimistic and want more radical regulations, because they consider the change is too conservative, therefore, the positive change to the environment is too minor. Still a small group of people have been fighting for some exact calculation between the positive effect to the environment and the inconvenience caused by the restriction.

　　As for me, “Better small than never”. Since we have been aware of the seriousness of the situation, we should take up our own responsibilities respectively: the government better public traffic system and the citizens follow the necessary regulations. Only in this way will the environment and traffic be upgraded together.

　　From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads Men versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly mutilated each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.

　　It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.

　　The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behavior. Everything, is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.

　　Is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste fo human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Her are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws where they exist should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh, but surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motorcars.

　　Good transportation is very important to the success of both individuals and a city. Without efficient means of transportation， people will waste a great deal of time going to and from work. This will make them tired and less productive in their jobs. People may rely on either private or public transportation to get them to and from work. If a choice has to be made between spending money on improving the roads for private vehicles or improving public transportation， I would choose the latter for the following reasons.

　　First of all， better public transportation systems， including buses， trains and subways， will encourage more people to use them rather than drive their own cars. This will reduce the total amount of traffic on the roads and make travel quicker for everyone. Second， using public transportation saves energy. A bus which carries 60 people is a far more efficient use of fuel than 60 individual cars driving the same route. And last but not least， greater use of public transportation causes less pollution and will keep the environment cleaner. There are many reasons to support spending money on public transportation. Good transportation systems make a city cleaner， more efficient and more convenient. This improves everyone's quality of life and can make the city more prosperous. Therefore， I support spending money on public transportation systems rather than improving roads.

　　At 7:15 a.m. on February 8, 2000, I was walking along Park Road toward east. And on the other side of the road an old man was walking out of the City Park. Suddenly a yellow car that drove up Third Street made a fight turn and rushed into Park Road at great speed. Next the car hit the man while he was crossing the road. He fell down with a cry, but the car didn’t stop. It drove off at great speed heading west. The driver was a young woman and the number was AC864. About two minutes later, I stopped a passing car and took the old man to the nearest hospital.
