As a person who has a driving license from Egypt as well as from the U.S. Traffic system means to me is traffic lights, road lanes, signals also how people deal with it. It supposed to be an international system. From my experience, it differs from one country to another. I am going to highlight the differences between U.S and Egypt in terms of: driver 's behaviors, police reaction and road maintenance. In Egypt, the drivers ' behavior differ from U.S in terms of speed limits, road signs ' obedience and the dealing with pedestrians. There is neither respect for the speed limits in highway nor in Interior Street. They are always in a hurry and passing another car from the right side is very normal. They rarely make use of converting signals from lane to another. For example, when the driver wants to move from the right lane to left one instead of giving a yellow signal he jumps to lane without signaling. I cannot remember seeing a driver stopping his car when there is a stop sign. We will not surprise when somebody drives in the wrong …show more content…
There are traffic lights and white and yellow lines that specified lanes in Egypt. But it is not as many as in U.S. it is less in number and quality and not well organized. Egyptian maintenance is poor. It happened that somebody steal the sewer manhole cover which is in the middle of the street and it will be left just like that without taking care of it which caused serious car accident and damages. Maintenance agency will put neither new cover, nor putting signals that alarm drivers. The maintenance system in U.S is largely advanced comparing with the Egyptians ' one. It runs smoothly, seriously and with high professionalism. I can feel there is an agency who is watching the condition of the surface, signals and lines. If there is anything wrong with it, they will fix
On top of that, these type of people use their cellphone, eat, don't wear seat belts, or drunk while they are driving. But these people don't realize that doing those minor thing can cause them severe pains or even deaths. There are millions of peoples are getting killed and injured every year because of car accident. I think if everyone use the traffic rules, all
The greatest shock to Americans is the speed at which Germans drive. The roads and freeways are quite narrow. Speed limits in cities are strictly enforced, but on much of the Autobahn there is no limit on how fast drivers can go. Although it is against the law, impatient Germans may also tailgate at high speeds and/or flash their headlights when they want to pass your vehicle. If you are driving for the first time in Germany, keep right. Left lanes are for passing only. Unlike when you are driving in America; Americans tend to travel in the lane that is meant for passing and the faster drivers. Americans tend to think “ I am going the speed limit, so I am going to stay in the left lane”, the Germany way of thinking is that if you are not passing anyone or if you are going too slow, your car needs to be in the right hand lane.
...bit faster than normal. What should drivers do? Well, there is something we can do that would allow for us to be able to raise the speed limits. We can write to our local representatives and let them know the need for raising the speed limits. Provide good research and valuable information that will help them to make the best possible decision. Of course, we must obey the law until the speed limits are changed. God has commanded us to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. (Bible) This was used not only in the aspect of money but also in the aspect of all of Caesar’s laws. The urge is very real to want to break the law, but think about others before yourself. According to Terry Turner we need to think of the why before the how. Basically ask yourself, why do I need to speed? Then after careful consideration of all factors, decide how fast to drive your automobile.
“Have you ever noticed how anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and everyone going faster than you is a maniac?” George Carlin once, jokingly asked. However, this is not the case for drivers on the famous highway systems in Germany. When you drive in Germany you can be“idiot” in the government’s eyes if you go too slowly, drive in the wrong lane or impede the flow of traffic. This distinction is not unique in Germany but is applicable on their federal highway system, aptly named the Autobahn. Rules regarding how anyone driving on the autobahn state that a driver must go a certain speed, or that driver becomes a public safety hazard, much like that of speeders in America. Many foreigners only hear how the autobahn has no speed limit and that is not necessarily true. There are in fact many areas that are speed limited and strictly enforced by the polizei and speed cameras integrated into the guard rail or surroundings. German drivers receive up to two years of very expensive and intensive training before driving within the country. In my opinion, I believe there should be an Autobahn-like system in America because it teaches future generations not only maturity, but also discipline and responsibility.
Driving tends to be the one thing almost everyone in their life gets to do at one point in their life. Nowadays you can even take driving classes in high school. The teacher’s teaching driving Drivers Ed. are also required to teach you the signs of the road, the rules of the road, all the different kinds of lines, and what you should do in critical situations. The driving classes also require you to have behind the wheel experience with your instructor who will then see if you can drive in the real world. If you do not pass the instructor’s class then you cannot go get your license. Now, just because many students pass the class and also the driving portion does not mean that they will pass the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) driving test which is generally tends to be harder.
Many change and continuities occurred within the legal system and political processes in Egypt before as well as after Mohamed Morsi’s control of Egypt. These events have eventuated due to the happenings of the government and the Egyptian citizens. These changes and continuities have impacted on Egyptian society both negatively and positively.
Egypt has gone through a long journey and sometimes it seems as though it repeats the same path over and over again. Whether its Mubarak, Sadat or Nasser, Egypt has not had its luck with any of the presidents nor kings for that matter. Under these presidents, Egypt went through oppression, discrimination and inequality for its citizens. Religion and gender played a big role in creating this discrimination, especially towards the Muslim brotherhood members. However, these presidents had more than simply discrimination, they had bad policies. Whether it was asking the wrong countries for aid or joining the wrong wars, they all made mistakes. Nasser is one of the most controversial presidents because although he did make some accomplishments he made many more sacrifices in the freedom of the Egyptian people than should have
However, you need to understand the situation in Saudi Arabia first. The way people drive in Saudi Arabia is insane. I mean, imagine that all cars are not following the traffic laws. You can go as fast as the car goes and you wouldn't be stopped at all. Leading to the deaths of nineteen people every day on the country’s roads.
Traffic engineers and planners need information about traffic. They need information to design and manage road and traffic system. They use the information for planning and designing traffic facilities, selecting geometric standards, economic analysis and determination of priorities. They use this to justify warrant of traffic control devices such as signs, traffic signals, pavement markings, school and pedestrian crossings. The also use this information to study the effectiveness of introduced schemes, diagnosing given situations and finding appropriate solutions, forecasting the effects of projected strategies, calibrating and validating traffic models.
The Egyptian culture is vastly different from American culture. While there are similarities between business practices in both the United States and Egypt, understanding the key differences in how to conduct oneself when negotiating business can be the difference between closing a sale and leaving empty-handed. With this report, the sales and marketing teams of Chevrolet will better understand how to negotiate with Egyptian executives in order get more automobiles into Egyptian dealerships. The report focuses on: (a) how meetings are conducted in Egypt; (b) meeting times; (c) proper Egyptian greetings; (d) group behavior in a meeting; (e) common business hierarchy; (f) proper business attire; and (g) important business communication tips.
Traffic control establishes a set of rules and regulations that people rely on to help avoid collisions and other hazards. With almost 160 million motorists and 3.8 million miles of public roads in the United States, traffic control on the highways is an important aspect of daily life. Without the control of speed there would be more fatalities than we already have now. Speed limits should be obeyed. A motorist going too slow could cause an accident. When everyone is traveling at the speed limit, a car comes up going 40 mph; if you break everyone will, too, perhaps causing a collision. Motorists depend on traffic control to avoid collisions and travel safely to their destination.
Ancient Egypt had all of the indicators. One of which they included was a complex government. The Egyptian government was first ruled by the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh was the most supreme leader that wasn’t just for the government, but also the religion. The Pharaoh couldn’t rule Ancient Egypt by himself, so he had other aids with him. He had hierarchy that were leaders and rulers of the leaders and rulers below him. A normal citizen of Ancient Egypt had no say in the government because they weren’t a democracy. Essentially, we consider that the law was based on common sense of right and wrongs, following the codes based on the idea of Ma’ at. Ma ‘at depicted truth, order, balance and justice in the universe. Ma’at relates to Hammurabi and his laws for the babylonians. Both made very impactful and important laws for their great citizens of Egypt and Babylon. In lots of respects and thankfulness, the Egyptian laws still

Traffic lights were only starting to be used in not only urban regions but also rural regions in only 1975. This graph shows the number of serious accidents from 1980 to 2012. As you can see the number of accidents has decreased. This is due to the fact that traffic lights were used seriously.
The primary point of traffic laws is safety, but also keeping order. Following traffic laws is one of the most essential aspects of driving and can increase your safety as well as of the people around you. Knowing the traffic rules in our region and applying them can prevent us from getting involved in an car accident and save us the pain and costs of a traffic ticket due to a violation. If we didn’t have any traffic laws there would be chaos on the roads and many disasters could happen.
