Traffic Control!

Riding in around with a friend in his car today and saw something truly amazing!

-- an Egyptian police officer actually controlling traffic! *laugh* (and boy, was he)

This was at an intersection near the train station where traffic comes from about 5 different angles and there are also cement barriers in place to move you in the right way. But people still try to do anything they want.

So...a guy with his donkey cart starts coming through the intersection and wants to veer to the left. Apparently, the police officer didn't agree b/c he reached out, grabbed the reigns, and pulled the donkey to the right! Wow!

Sounds like traffic control has improved since we spent time with you. A policeman actually moving a donkey cart - that would be interesting to see. A cooperative donkey??
