The Traffic Lights

Every Cities in the world do have a Traffic lights, which controls the motion of the cars in a busy city junctions or interactions. It provides the sense of direction movement to the drivers as on when to stop and derive at the interactions. But it is unlikely to be seen in Bhutan, the only country in the world where there is no traffic light and rather a traffic police stops and gives the signal of movement.

One busy intersection in Thimphu does have a kiosk where a police officer directs traffic in a graceful, almost mesmerizing series of gestures—even if we didn’t exactly understand what his gestures meant. Combine the mysterious hand movements with the fact that people drive on the left side of the road in Bhutan and, well, I think I’d be better off letting someone else do the driving.
