Today’s topic is traffic lights!
These are Japanese common traffic lights.
Basically, left one is for cars or motor bikes, and right one is for walkers or bicycles.
British traffic lights are almost same. 
But they are laid in vertical row. Top is red, middle is yellow and last one is blue.
In the traffic lights for walker case, push-button systems are common. The most surprisingly thing for me is that traffic lights for walkers change quite quickly! I was in trouble when I crossed streets. In England
I think traffic difference from other contries is so big and important. If you go abroad, you should know such differeces. That's all♪
Another difference is that people in England surely don't call the GO signal 'blue'. I was very surprised when I came to Japan and the GO signal was called 'blue'. I couldn't understand what people were talking about. In North America, Great Britain, Australia and many other places, this light is 'green'. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteWow, it's very interesting! In Japan, there are some people who call "green". I think it is usually that each contries regard thing differently like that. Thank you for interesting story♪
