    China and India each have over a billion people
    Despite being smaller in area, they have 4x the road system. That wasn't the case before. Per capita they are about half that of Russia. Brazil even has twice the road system with less than twice the population.

      Canada has almost as many roads as Russia, and Canada's roads are better.
      More roads is a good thing?

      I have many problems with Russia, but can we stop this ego masturbation?

        Road Etiquette

        _Pedestrian crossing lines are nice decorations
        _There are 4 lights. Green Orange Deep Orange and Red

        Horn blowing

        _Short shap claxon: the light turned green 10 miliseconds ago. Let's go grandpa
        _Medium duration claxon: you did something stupid watch it
        _long duration claxon: **** you and your goat you *&^%&*^%$#$%#^#^%$#

        Flashing lights instead of claxon: I got laid, I'm mellow

          In LA, even if a light turns red it didn't actually turn red. It needs 10 additional seconds to be officially red.

              In some countries cars actually stop at lightless pedestrian crossings.

              It's very funny and confusing.
              Also you can't believe it is happening, can't properly process it, so you get sentimental.

              I thought about just putting the toes in the line just to see them stop and then pull it back so they'll get ready to go then put the foot down again and so on

              But then I thought that might irritate them.

              One should never get too accustomed to that strange pedestrian line ritual of cars actually stopping when he gets home though because carelessness could prove lethal (or enrich your "french" vocabulary considerably)
