嫌回家路堵 男子竟自行修改路标
A Chinese man has been fined after he was captured on surveillance footage painting new road signs in a bid to make his daily commute easier. The Modern Express reports that a 28-year-old man surnamed Cai, was fined 1,000 yuan in the eastern city of Lianyungang, Jiangsu province. He was captured on camera on 27 November with a can of white paint painting new arrows onto the road, and told police it was the result of frustrations over the long delays on his daily bus journey to work. "I saw that the straight lane was always packed with cars, while the lane that turns left has a lot of space," he told the police. "I thought changing the signs would make my commute smoother." Traffic police told Modern Express that they thought Mr Cai's behaviour was "very dangerous" and could have resulted in a collision. They have since deployed workers to repaint the road. This is not the first time that someone in China has used their arts skills to invent their own traffic rules. In May, a driver in Zhejiang was fined after surveillance footage captured him drawing his own parking space with chalk on a road. |
