Running in red-light is a very common phenomenon in China. In order to prevent this, the government has tried many ways but still can't prohibit those red-light runners. Now Shanghai is going to make new rules, aiming at getting rid of this bad behaviour. According to the new rules, those who run in the red light will be exposed in TV or newspapers if they don't accept the traffic polices' warning. Many locals in Shanghai said they would support the government to expose those red-light runners. However, there is still a certain amount of people who don't think so. Do you think this new method will prevent people running in the red light?

I’ve run a few red light here quite by accident.
My problem is that they are not all placed in a similar position. Sometimes there’re 10 meters off the ground and at the next set they are in a different position altogether.
But if the traffic police are going to enforce one rule they may as well enforce them all and lead by example.

GUEST7572 Dodger, you are right. The public transport facilities are not planed and built in some places. At the crossroads, the roundabouts shouldn't be built. During the rush hour, the traffic accidents happen frequently.

Guest7572, your words remind me of an interesting story. A girl was driving her new car on the road. Then a roundabout came up in front of her. After seeing other drivers driving very easily to pass through the roundabout, she felt that she could do it. However, she spent nearly an hour in passing through the roundabout but failed. Why? She was a green hand and afraid of bumping into the front cars. Then she called her husband to come here immediately. Her husband came over and passed through the roundabout just in a second.
