Chinese style of crossing the road, that is " crossing the road when there are a handful of people, regardless of the traffic lights" , is a kind of a teasing by net friends on the phenomenon of some Chinese run the red light collectively. The reason of this phenomenon is that people are affected by the thought of "following the herd" ,so they are regardless of the traffic safety.

Regarding the rapid economic development in China, public facilities are also upgrading such as traffic lights and pedestrian walk. However, many people neglect the red light and cross the road with the crowd regardless of traffic rules, leading to potential safety threat and high possibility in accidents. This is a danger warning sign not only for the public to self-examine the behaviors but also for traffic control department to improve the intensity to penalize those who violate the traffic rules. With more efforts, I belivee, this phenomenon could be managed in a better manner.
