Look over your shoulder, when walking along a footpath in Jinan. Not only are there bicycles, but also electric bicycles that whip along an an amazing pace, (and you can't hear them coming) and motor bikes (with drivers without helmets, pretending to be cyclists) who may or may not beep their horn at you for daring to be a pedestrian on a footpath!The man on the right was benevolently crazy - coming up to a few inches from my face and bellowing "Hello!"
A pedestrian crossing is no guarantee of safety (see photo). Indeed pedestrians seem to be the lowest in the pecking order.
