China watchers have been marvelling at a Guangzhou traffic crossing which gives pedestrians 5 seconds to dash across a 100m stretch of busy road…
The report:
Some wags have suggested the 5 second limit may not be such a problem as no Chinese take any notice of the signals anyway – although more fair-minded Japanese have also pointed out their own country has employed signals giving pedestrians as little as 3 seconds to dash across before the ascendancy of their automotive overlords is reaffirmed:

That road isn't 100m across, its more like 10m. A 100 meter wide road would be a crazy 30 lane superhighway or something.
No idea if China has huge roads like this, but maybe it was converted to feet on one news website, with the next one just replacing feet with meter. That would make the road about 30 m wide.
Their roads are pretty massive
They say 100m in the description and the speaker mentions this, but it probably refers to the whole crossing. It's quite hard to establish what the offset time between the changes on perpendicular lanes is, because if these 5 seconds is the window to start moving and there's more to clear the road, then this is nothing unusual.
Mikudayo?
100m = 325ft. The widest HW in the world is I10 in texas @ 26 lanes - 320ft with the shoulders & medians. But that's a HW. Having to walk the length of a football field just to cross a street is crazy.
But there are groups of intersections that are easily over 100m in both China & Japan. The most infamous is Nagoya.
well, if the title says 10m i wouldn't have clicked on it
New Chinese Anime "2000 Centimeters per Second".
New world record lol
Note: It takes an average fit person to sprint 100m in 10-13 seconds. To just walk 100m in 5 secs require... some.... superhuman...
Actually, seeing that the world record is 9.51 seconds, with special equipment and special track, it will take a hyperfit person that is very close to Olympic athlete level to pull off a 10-11 second 100 meter dash. 13-14 seconds would take a 'very fit' person, and the 'average fit' person will take 15-16.
100m in 5sec, incidentally, was the running speed of Master Roshi in the original dragonball.
Worst coming to worst, you just mount the closest pickup truck going in the correct direction. Other vehicles are fine too, if you can slip in in time.
well no one said they should cross 100m with a dash, they could as well start sprinting 30 meters before the crossing to increase their odds.. by that much [ ]
The cars should stick to the lanes, so a pedestrian can take it in installments if it's the point of the story.
bitches better run
China just wants to produce a person that can beat Usain Bolt
haha fucking nice.
Either that or it's a not-so-subtle attempt at population control.
"Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?"
normal bitches are fit enough to cross, it's you otaku bitches who need to watch out even at the world's shortest crossing
The worlds fastest sprinters couldn't cross that in time.
Bro, you mad? Otaku =/= fat, read a book.
somehow using bro and then spouting your shit isnt very bro like. bro.
Usain Bolt: 100 metres in 9.58 seconds.
You can already stfu faggot.
am sure a titan could do it easy (wish they'd eat the chineses around too while at it though)
REALLY BRO? WHEN MOST OF YOU FUCK ALL GO TO GYM NOR DO SHIT TO STAY FIT?
its China way of forcing it's citizen to lose weight, other countries should follow China too
Really?Its nothing compared to Indonesia, here we cross at a 120-140 km/h toll highway easily with a large backpack, even we can jump at middle highway fences while carryin em =)
10s is within half a second of the world record so I think that may be a bit optimistic for most (not me obviously)
All the explosions have created a Mutant Chinese citizenry.
Not the explosions but the sewage soy sauce gave them the power. Everyone knows that!
They are asian, they gonna be fine.
Yeah because no one will miss one if someone runs one over.
Last time I checked 100m in under 10s was the world record and you say 10s is normal for the average fit person? Are you kidding me?! The average fit person manages 10m in around 10s. 1m/s. That's your average sprinter.
Chinese people rarely grow beyond 100cm in height, and that's mostly torso, so it's even harder for them.
100cm? Have you ever seen a Chinese person before or just talking out of your ass?
How? Chinese people are hobbits, right?
Of course he has as that's where he does much of his loli hunting.
I am upvoting this with all my power.
Not because it's true, but because it's HILARIOUS.
You see, it's a secret plan by the government to train their citizens into peak level athletes by forcing them to run when the penalty is death.
Actually I'd say its the first step in China's plan for world domination. First they get their population down to a self sufficient level, while at the same time weeding at weak. Within a generation all Chinese(still alive) will be prime physical specimens, the first army of super soldiers the world has ever seen.
That or just smart but lazy ones who all drive SUVs everywhere they go.
A second USA than?
Get to the other side under 5 seconds or prepare to graze cars afterwards, insane as shit.
They want to train people to invade Gensokyo.
Graaze
graze
Grazeee.
There's China in Gensoukyou too.
"You see, it's a secret plan by the government to decrease the number of citizens soiling the streets"
/fify
More way the Chinese government is trying to kill off it's population.
PRC population control.
And I thought that 15 secs to cross 100 meters in Saint Petersburg is hard.
This is China's scheme to beat the Jamaican's reign in 100m
