~*WAHOO UR FIRST COMMENT!!!*~ hahha
Japan Intersection~~
1)Theres a bunch of people everywhere in this picture. Its a really busy area.
2)There are lots of signs everywhere, so u'd have to pay close attention to which are road signs.
3)They have huge walk ways for pedestrains.
4) They are driving on the left side of the road, which would make us have to pay special attention, because we're not used to that.
5)Its a downtown area, lots of traffic and people. Probally a lot of cars pullin to the side of the road and stopping to let people out or pick them up.
(~theres a McDonalds!!!! lol~) =]

Japan Intersection:
1. Cross walk--possible pedestrains crossing or going to cross.
2. Lots of traffic--watch out for vehicles turning into your lane..or turning from, vehicles could also pull over on side in front of you..so keep foot on brakes just in case:)
3.I see there was alot places kids could be coming out of like McD's..or like a bowling alley maybe..so the kids might walk/run upon roads or something possibly- unexpectedly.
4. There is a stop light..watch out for that and right turning times..expecially with so many vehicles.
5. Also alot of road signs in general--keep an eye out for all thoses.

3)lots of people tryin to cross.
1. There Are a lot of pedestrians, watch out for potential road kill.
2. It is a commercial district so you have to ignore the distracting lights and pay attention to the road.
3. remember to drive on the left side of the road and dont revert to old ways, this will cause a wreck.
4. watch out for the side walks they are a lot biger here. There is more pedestrian use here so you dont want to hit someone while parking.
5. watch for cars that are pulling into the intersection it is a left sided road so you dont want to get confused and hit another car.
1)people

1. It is a busy intersection and there is people everywhere.
2.There are signs and bilboards everywhere in and around the street.
3.The guy on the passanger side of the car that the car that you are sitting in has his arm out the window. His arm could get squished.
4.The cross walks are very long for the pedestrains to cross and a long time to wait for a green light.

LATE!!! NO COMPUTER ACCESS OVER THE BREAK =]
Here are five things i notice about the Japan Intersections.
1. There is a very large crosswalk, so you need to be prepared to yeild for pedestrians.
2. There are alot of pedestirians all over the sidewalks, so you would need to be causious, some might not follow the rules and unexpectedly jump onto the road, you must ALWAYS yield to pedestrians.
3. Looks like they are wide streets with lots of traffic. You'd have to be extra causious.
4. There are street lights, which means there is a controlled intersection nearby.
5. There are lots of signs and stuff blocking your view of the other road, so that could cause problems.
*Japan Intersection*
#1: The pedestrians on the sidewalks might step out into the traffic at any time. Be sure to watch out for them.
#2: It seems really weird that they drive on the opposite sides! You sure wouldn’t want to drive like an American in Japan, talk about a huge accident! So, be sure to drive on the correct side for Japan.
#3: I don’t know if this is true, but I don’t see any lane dividers at all! If there weren’t any lines, then you would have to guess where your lane really would be! Remember, the lanes are switched!
#4: There are a lot of traffic signs, and many vehicles. Be sure to watch out for the signs, but beware…they might be different. You should check and see what the different signs there mean.
#5: You should watch out for all the vehicles. Be a defensive driver. Drive safely, don’t take risks…to sum it up: Be safe! One last thing: Don’t drive extremely close to any of the cars, because you could knock off their mirrors, or any appendages hanging outside of the vehicle. Better safe then sued. ;)

1)there are lots of people here either crossing or walking down the streets.
2)you would have to watch for people on mopeds and motorcycles so as not to cause accidents.
3)you have to watch the lights and street signs so you dont pull into a oneway street or something
4)there driving on the left side of the road witch would make it hard for you to adjust to that.
5) watch for other cars pulling out to the main street, there lots of cars and lots of people.
Josh s
1. people everywhere
2.the signs are in differant langues so it might be hard to figure out what the heck they mean
3. the crazy people over there dirive on the wrong side of the road and it might be weird to drive like that.
4. there are some benches and they might ubstruct your seeing.
5. theres a lot of lights so make sure you do not blow past them
In the first picture there looks like there is a semi truck in fromt of the car you are tring to pass. Then there looks like there is a corner coming up and you don't want to pass the semi with a corner coming up because the semi might crush you. Corey Gaston
There are pedestrains waiting patiently to crosswalk and there might be cars in your blind spot. Then there is a car turning into the other intersection.
