Will at Imagethief reads about a new Guangzhou traffic law for foreigners, and makes some interesting points:

“‘Like local residents, any foreigner who crosses against a red light or jumps over a road divider will be fined between 20 yuan ($2.90) and 50 yuan.

Those not able to afford the fine or are reluctant to pay the fine will be forced to watch a video on traffic safety,’ Lu Zhengguang, a bureau official, said yesterday. …

…a few thoughts:
1. Foreigners may be choosing to watch the video because they think it will be a riot.
2. Foreigners’ employers by-and-large won’t care if they are jaywalking. …”
