Human Traffic Lights” on the main avenues of CDMX; they are people who place their bodies in front of a car to stop it and thereby allow another driver to enter a road in exchange for an economic reward.
These people are standing in the iddle of the road, risking their lives while placing themselves in front of a car to stop it and thereby allow another driver to enter the lane in exchange for coins.
This is soething that obviously would not be allowed in countries like the United States.
Users on social networks gave their opinion about this situation:
“I don’t even thank them; because they are not doing a favor. They only get in the way and then they themselves obstruct the way to get money. If they are homeless it is not the fault of the government or anyone else but themselves.”
“A big city and terrible road safety education”
“That’s correct, with driver’s education this would not be necessary.”
“In other cities in Mexico, like Xalapa Veracruz, there is better road education than in CDMX.”
