Amended traffic law sparks wide debate

Staying on the topic. The amended traffic rules have sparked wide online debate from Chinese drivers complaining of the penalties for driving through yellow lights.

A recent poll on this topic which surveyed more than 200-thousand people shows that nearly 75-percent of netizens have doubts about the new regulations. They think reducing the speed limit to meet the new standards is likely to lead to traffic congestion, and that stopping at a yellow light may cause more rear-end collisions. Many say more research should be carried out before the new regulations are implemented.
