Every time when I wait for the traffic lights at the crossroads, I find that many people are always on their mobile phones or  listening to the music with headphones, taping their feet to the rhythm. This phenomenon is very common in Shanghai. I can’t say it’s not good because moblie phones are the most important thing in our life as they can brighten up and add color to our existence. However, I hope we can bring attention to traffic safety, especially at crossroads.  Of course, how we can do this is no easy task.
