Traffic

Until I can buy a bike, I'll be taking a cab to work every morning. This means dealing with rush hour in Shanghai.

The streets are a loosely organized throng of cars, scooters and bicycles. Generally, cars occupy the middle areas of the streets, while scooters and bikes stay to the right or veer onto sidewalks when the roadway becomes clogged. Pedestrians must keep their heads on a swivel.
