From my balcony, I can see roads and all kind of vehicle. I see corners where the street lights are located make the streets brighter when it's dark. I can see pavements and people walk after work as well.

Before, I was confused between crossroads and crossing. There are so many traffic lights and street lights in my city. In some roundabouts, they grow beautiful flowers. Pavements in my area are always filled with different stuff.

In my home at country side we don't have this much of infrastructures no pavement no asphalt, no street lights, no round abouts, no crossing.
this kind of facilities are only in towns and cities where you can see paved streets with signposts, infrastructures, crossroads and traffic, traffic lights and square at downtown.
