[REEL] Traffic Light Rules in Taiwan are Giving Mixed Signals

If you saw a “Little Green Man” running signal, would you start running too?

Taiwan’s Ministry of Transportation and Communications recently clarified that people should not start crossing the street once the pedestrian signal – or the “Little Green Man” -- begins flashing.

Crossing when the light is flashing won’t count as jaywalking, but you should avoid crossing if possible. And unlike before, you won’t be fined US$15 if you do.

Officials say the update is meant to improve pedestrian safety, as the government continues efforts to address road safety concerns.
