Pedestrians
Why did the Cairene cross the road?
Cairo has very wide roads with few traffic signals or crosswalks, and this is what crossing the road in Cairo is like:
Via How We Drive, which says, "And please, Cairo, don't make the mistake of building pedestrian overpasses and underpasses to 'fix' the problem." I recall that's pretty much what they have in mind.
Driving too safe: Egypt's analogue of The Onion has a hilarious article: "Microbus driver sent to rehab for not causing an accident in over a year." (El Koshary Today) (Comment)
