TRAFFIC IN SHANGHAI
Visitors to Shanghai are always impressed by the modern traffic equipment introduced to regulate the fast increasing volume of traffic which flows through the. streets. Two years ago experimental signal lights were introduced on Nanking Road, the main thoroughfare, in an endeavour to obtain a better regulation of the traffic. The lights were so successful that all the principal crossings in the business district, and well into the residential district, are now equipped with these lights, and probably the most diverse traffic in the world is now governed by red and green lights.
The amazing success can only be appreciated upon seeing a typical Shanghai street with a dozen different types of ancient and modern vehicles, including rickshas, automobiles, motor buses, bicycles, carts hauled by coolies, peculiar one-wheeled barrows, and occasionally one of Shanghai’s few sedan chairs.
