Road signs have been known since the time of Ivan the Terrible, but they still raise questions from road users. But they are designed to regulate traffic and ensure road safety. Imagine for a moment that the road signs were canceled. What then will start on the road?
Without road signs, the real chaos will begin. How can you get through an unregulated intersection if all drivers think they are right? We need to negotiate among ourselves. And you can agree, for example, by blinking your headlights, they say: "Drive through." Only some drivers associate blinking with another action: "Step apart, I'm flying." So they will stand and blink until someone dares to pass first. And this thought may occur to two drivers at once. And in the end - a classic accident at a crossroads.
You can, of course, regulate traffic at intersections with traffic lights. But you can't put a traffic light at every intersection, and some are turned off at night.
Everyone complains - traffic jams, but the reasons for their occurrence lie not only in the fact that there are more and more cars every year. This means that more parking spaces are needed. And some consider the roadway an ideal place. Convenient - parked to the side of the road, calmly go about business. No need to go into circles looking for a parking space. This would have been the case if the “No parking” sign had been removed. After all, it was invented precisely in order not to block the roadway, and is installed, as a rule, in places with increased traffic capacity. Otherwise, many cities would have narrowed to one endless traffic jam.
How will pedestrians cross roads without a zebra crossing? Yes, even on a zebra crossing is often unsafe. But this is more likely due to the general lack of culture and disrespect for each other. The pedestrian considers himself to be right, the driver considers himself, someone did not notice, someone did not specifically let him in. But if you are extremely careful and cross the road on a pedestrian crossing in compliance with safety measures, this is often the only way to get to the other side of the street. But to do this in a dense stream of cars that are rushing at an unlimited speed (there are no signs) is impossible.
Even if road signs seem absurd to someone, there are some. But in general, they regulate not only traffic, they are responsible for our lives. The task of the participants in the movement is to be extremely attentive to them and unquestioningly follow their instructions.
