traffic rules. in america there are too much more cars than in china. but there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in america than in china. we hardly see traffic police in the street, but all cars obey strictly traffic rules, and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street.about american traffic rules, there are many better terms, such as：1stop line：there are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light (some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines). all cars must stop while meeting the stop line. 2traffic light：there is traffic light in the crossing of the road. cars may almost turn every direction. the traffic light can give signal step by step including uturn. there is a kind of middle lane of turning left. when a car wants to turn left in the road, he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left. when he thinks being safe, he may turn left. in many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically. if people want to change lane or turn, they must look behind and think being safe. only so, they may do it.3specific item：such as parking, there are three kinds of lines (their colors are white, blue or red) in the roadside. every line may park different kinds of car. there are many streets in some residential areas, and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time. in every parking, there are some special positions for invalid people.4about the priority of passenger and car: at any case, passenger has the priority to car. and
