Introduction to the two "oddities" of Bagua City

There is not a single traffic light on the city road. According to the suggestions of experts and scholars, since the roads are connected in circles, there will be no traffic jams and road blockages in a county. Vehicles and pedestrians can reach their destinations no matter which direction they go. Therefore, the relevant departments in 1996 Traffic lights on the roads were cancelled, making Bagua City a city without traffic lights.

In addition to the lack of traffic lights, Bagua City has another peculiarity, that is, it is easy for outsiders to "turn". It was said that an out-of-town driver was severely overloaded. After driving to Turks County, I suddenly realized that I might encounter a traffic policeman on the street. So, taking advantage of the convenience of the night, he chose a road that he thought was remote and detoured to the center of the Bagua Cultural Square. Suddenly, with the help of lights, he saw a traffic policeman on duty in the distance ahead. He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He immediately braked and made an emergency U-turn, preparing to sneak onto other roads to bypass the traffic policeman.

When he took a chance and went around from other roads to the front, he saw that there was still a traffic policeman ahead. He secretly took a detour on another road, and this time the detour was longer and had more circles, but no matter how he detoured, he could not avoid the traffic police.
