Driving in Shanghai: Traffic lights, big avenues and one-way streets?

[braillce]

Hengshan lu is an auto only road, so cars tend to go fast on it, especially at the last seconds of the green/yellow light when taxi drivers frequently racing through it. It is a big intersection but with poor visibility where the Hengshan lu cuting into Wulumuqi road at an angle and both streets heavily wooded.[...]

I live 2 blocs away.

Crossing Hengshan on Wulumuqi can be suicidal, even if your own light is green.

Going up north like the poor guy did, visibility to the left is about zero.

Not the best place to run a red light.

Still, only one witness says he ran the red light, one day I crashed I heard bystanders saying they had seen many things that I hadn't, while my angle of view on the crash was quite "convenient"...

I'll trust the witness when I see the video...
