Crazy Hangzhou Traffic

Typical intersection in Hangzhou, every man (or woman) for themselves... no real rules on the road.

This is simply how traffic is in The Peoples Republic entirely... In Shanghai and other larger cities, there are many police officers, but the traffic is actually a lot worse. The crime in China is very low, relative to its size. However it does have the most auto accidents per square capita..

yep----this is really how it is!!! I was there recently (4/11) and will always remember my first crazy bike ride in Hangzhou:) Can't believe how it works and yet it does!! Ridiculous indeed and oddly so chaotic that I too was humored!!

This is actually more efficient since individuals meet decision equilibriums. Fewer vehicles are stopped at one time. It is much like the Coase theory in economics.
