That's China. Make an absolute law. The reality is there is no way to selectively govern the people. Laws in China have to be extreme. Imagine just 0.1% of the population not following the laws. It would be chaos (which it already is). Chinese people are "resourceful". If there is a loophole, they will find it. I can understand it, but I don't like it. I wouldn't expect anymore from a largely amoral, atheistic society that has it's cultural shaped by decades of poverty, strife, and social upheaval. It's survival of the fittest and the traffic reflects it.

I see hope though. Some people are starting to queue in lines. Stay on the right side of an escalator. Wait for other people to exit the subway train before entering... When most people start doing this, maybe we will see traffic getting more orderly, and motorcycles being allowed again...
