Nowadays, it’s common in China that some pedestrians tend to run the red light in groups whencrossing the street, which has raised widespread concern. Actually, running the red light, also called Chinese style of crossing road, is quite dangerous for it may lead to more traffic jams and accidents. There are two main reasons behind the phenomenon, one of which is that some people are in such a hurry that they ignore the traffic light to save time. Others take it for granted that drivers have to stop because so many people cross the street together, thinking little of safety. In order to prevent this dangerous behavior, more overpasses should be built to make it easier for pedestrians to cross the street. Besides, the public should be educated to follow the traffic rules and whoever breaks the traffic rules should be severely punished.
