***La circulation urbaine : Dans certaines rues, il y a deux

sens de circulation des voitures tandis que d’autres sont à
sens unique. Les piétons empruntent le trottoir. Chaque fois

passage clouté. Les chauffeurs doivent s’arrêter à chaque fois
qu’ils voient les gens sur le passage clouté ; afin de les
donner la priorité. La circulation en ville est contrôlée par
 les feux tricolores ou par les policiers pour pouvoir éviter
les embouteillages.
