THE TRAFFIC RULES IN BRASILIA
In 1978 when I got here, in Brasilia, there almost were no traffic lights. We almost had the roads, avenues and streets that we have today but there weren’t the number of the traffic lights of nowadays nor the great number of today’s car. Only in the last ten years the number of vehicles grew vertiginously up and this was the determination of the changing the Traffic Laws which stayed more hard. The hard rules of nowadays it’s because we (drivers) cannot lost a simple second to wait for a pedestrian just cross in his proper pedestrian crossing that is the safety way to him crosses the streets.
In our main road, the “Eixo Monumental”, more known as “Eixão”, we have six or seven tracks but at the rush time all stay complete, with a heavy traffic or a traffic jam. In it we become frustrate, stressed and impatient. I don’t happily have this problem because I live near the job and when I get out my home to work the traffic is almost free but when I come back home (I work until 6:30 p. m.) in the evening I suffer a little because it’s time for everybody to close the avenues and streets with their cars, buses, motorcycles, bikes, people on foot, and by on from their employees to their homes.
Well, to summarize, I agree with the hard of the traffic rules because in a car crash both we and the government have to value the life. It’s only not the death which afraid us, because if someone dies he becomes a statistic number. But principally when somebody becomes a permanent invalidity either not only will be a statistic number and worry much more. The government has to debt a mensal payment, the family has to care for all life and for him who is impossibility to make the things he used to do.
