Education of Traffic rules


Since the day I came to Phnom Penh, the way the traffic can be a terrifying experience as the motorists and drivers do not follow the traffic rules. Crossing the road when it is green does not mean that you can safely get to the other side. You need to watch out for traffic for all directions at crossroad.


A crossroad without traffic light is like back home, when the traffic lights are out of order.

Last Sunday, at a traffic light junction near my office, I noticed that there are some youths wearing "Red Cross International" T-shirt holding red coloured flags. These youths were flagging the flag horizontally in front of them when the traffic light is RED. There is a campaign to educate the motorists not to cross when the traffic light is RED.
