Traffic Lights

There are a lot of difference to drive a car between Japan and north America.


The biggest differences are driving sheet and driving lane.

Our driving sheet is in right side and we have to drive a car in left lane, so when I started driving in California, I felt really uncomfortable.

However, once I get used to drive a car in US, it is much easier and more convenient than Japan.

I use high way every time even if the distance is less than 5 mils (8 km), and the gasoline is much cheaper than Japan.

The most comfortable thing is traffic lights.
What the amazing thing for traffic light is that when I reach to a traffic light, it turns to be green in a second.  Because, it has a sensor!!!
So, I don't need to wait and waste my time.

Very comfortable:)

In Japan, we have to wait for a long time if you had bad luck even though there is no car near an intersection...

I mean, we have few traffic light that have sensor, but not a lot.

I wish most Japanese traffic lights have sensor.

Anyway, I like driving a car in US in terms of a lot of factors!!!
