巴黎冷知識： 在巴黎開車是一種折磨

在巴黎開車很難受，車很多，很擠，而且交通標識還少得很，巴黎的停車標識全球最少。

巴黎原本唯一一個STOP標誌，後來也被撤掉了。圖片來源：

To drive in Paris is often seen as an ordeal by car drivers passing through, or even regular ones. The permanently dense traffic gives a cold sweat to many, and we often come to wonder why there aren’t more car accidents than there are on Paris’ roads. It actually might be thanks to the “priority to the right” rule going on across the whole city. The only signage you can find in Paris is the traffic lights, but there’s one exception. On the Saint Exupéry dock, at the exit of a construction company, was the one and only “STOP” sign in Paris. In 2012, it was finally replaced by a “no left turn” sign. Paris holds the world record for the fewest amount of stop signs.

在巴黎開車經常被路過這裏的汽車司機，甚至是普通司機，視爲一種折磨。長期擁堵的交通讓很多人緊張不已，但我們常常會想，爲什麼巴黎的交通事故卻沒有那麼多。事實上，這可能是因爲整個巴黎都在執行“優先右轉”的原則。在巴黎你能找到的唯一指示牌就是紅綠燈，只有一個例外。在聖埃克蘇佩裏碼頭上的一家建築公司的出口處，有巴黎唯一的一個“停止”標誌。2012年它最終被一個“禁止左轉”的標誌所取代。巴黎停車標誌的數量在全球是最少的。
