[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyway, I'll tell you why you are so scared of the Hanoi comparison. It's because Hanoi's chaos of bicycles and scooters is a nightmarish pedestrian deathtrap. Unlike in Amsterdam, bicyclists in Hanoi do not stop at stop lights or pay attention to one way streets. That's the DC scenario. If we had the Amsterdam scenario of bicyclists following the same traffic rules as cars it would not be so bad. You want the Amsterdam infrastructure with Hanoi rules and that is a bad idea.[/quote] Lol. Have you been to Hanoi or HCMC lately? The issue is not bikes -- there are very few bikes even when I was there 10 years ago. It's MOTOR BIKES. And cars don't really follow traffic rules either. The problem is the absence of traffic rules, period. Not bikes ignoring stopsigns in Vietnam :roll: BTW bikes follow rules in DC. I very, very rarely see a bike doing something really dangerous, whereas I see a car doing something dangerous every day. [/quote]
