The elevated highway is supported by huge columns that guide cars around u-turns at break-neck speed. There are two pedestrian lights that are sequenced such that the unknowing pedestian is forced to wait directly behind the mammoth columns - both cars and people are blind to eachother. I pity anybody that needs to commute north beyond SH. railway station.</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/03/14/fixing_the_wron.php#comment-204965 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/03/14/fixing_the_wron.php#comment-204965 Comments Wed, 15 Mar 2006 06:21:26 +0800 <p>Argh, it seems like moto-taxis are multiplying at a fantastic rate. I don't remember so many of them even a few months ago. My daily commute, involving the Shanghai South Railway Station and Yishan Road (along Line 3) are plagued by them as well. Wouldn't be so bad if they didn't like to ride full speed up and down the sidewalks!</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/03/14/fixing_the_wron.php#comment-204957 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/03/14/fixing_the_wron.php#comment-204957 Comments Tue, 14 Mar 2006 17:40:39 +0800 <p>I doubt they will get it right soon. First they have to finish the grand plan to put a building/road etc on each and every available square meter. Once they realize all human beings have left the city it will get better, somewhere around 2010 I guess</p>
