Zurich, who died in a car accident ‘0’

◇ Zurich, who died in a car accident ‘0’

Swivel crossings across Switzerland's #Churich show the number "20" clearly on the floor and the blue sign shows a child jumping onto the road. 

There is heavy traffic at Zurich Central Station and nearby roads, but the maximum speed limit is 20 kilometers per hour. (Referred to as ‘20 Zones’)

Vehicles are allowed to pass, but in zone 20 pedestrians always have a priority. There is no concept of jaywalking.

Zurich's main goal of traffic safety is to make car use inconvenient. Zurich has a maximum speed limit of 30 to 50 kilometers per hour.

Speeding is also strictly enforced, and if found to be speeding in a child’s protected area, the license is revoked in some cases. And there is a speed camera in front of the school zone. Even if a driver obtains a driver's license, he or she must obtain an educational license for one year and not violate laws such as speeding.

Walking Island in the middle of the road is a symbol of Swiss pedestrian protection, and Zurich has two round-trip lanes, mostly for children and elderly pedestrians.

As the country has become an aging society, traffic accidents among the elderly have become an important task in Switzerland. In 2015, 38 percent of traffic accidents involving senior citizens were pedestrians. For this reason, the Swiss government is emphasizing to older pedestrians that they should not carry their luggage in their hands for a sense of balance, that they must stop on the island and cross the street, and that they should carry colorful objects on their bodies.

Learning doesn't have to be broad, so it has to be useful.

仕不必達 要之無愧
The government post does not have to be clever, so in short, it should be free from shame.
