Remember the following rules.

据报道，中国大约有7万人死于交通事故，死亡人数超过事故死亡人数的50%。交通事故发生率和死亡率位居世界之首，受害者主要是孩子，青少年和老年人。这是一个残酷的事实。我们怎样才能使道路更安全呢？请牢记以下规则。

When you ride a bike or walk in the street, keep yourself in the right side of the road. Don’t cross the road or turn left at a red traffic light. Give a sinal when you want to cross the road or stop. Before corssing the road, stop and look at your right and left sides, making sure that there is no car passing by. Additionally, our government should make more severe traffic rules and punitive measures.  Some drivers always violate the traffic rules, which is the main cause to traffic accidents. Therefore, our governmet should play a more important role in preventing traffic accidents.

当你骑自行车或者走在街上的时候，确保自己走在道路正确的一边。在红灯的时候不要穿越马路或者左转。当你想过马路或者停下来的时候要发出信号。在穿过马路之前，停下来看看左右，确保没有车经过。另外，政府应该制定更加严厉的交通规则及惩罚措施。一些司机经常违反交通规则，这是导致交通事故的主要原因。因此，我们的政府应该在防止交通事故中起到更重要的作用。
