I live in Berlin and there are a lot of traffic lights also near my home but there are not a lot of roundabouts. Street lights are every 5 meters and at about 300 meters there is a Crossing.

Front of my house is a small road. Walking on the pavement from my house several meters is a crossroad. At night it is lit by the street lights.

I live in a big modern city now. There are a lot of traffic lights, roundabouts, crossings and crossroads. People without cars usually use the pavement. Rude drivers are generally reluctant to give way to people on crossing

For the last few years I have been living in a small village. Near my house and around there are only small streets and paths. There are no traffic lights and no traffic. There is only one sign with the name of the village at the beginning of the village.

Since my house is on the main road, I can usually find traffic lights , street lights and some crossings. In the downtown, there are many people gathering at the square especially on weekends. There are about 5 roundabouts in my city. Traffic jumps are always happen on every morning , especially on rush hours.
