No More 'Power Walking' on the Road

A draft revision of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that roads may not be occupied for fitness activities without permission, meaning organized 'power-walking groups' can no longer exercise while taking over traffic lanes.

Big brother, look! There are so many people up ahead wearing the same clothes and shouting slogans while they walk!

That's a 'power-walking group.' They walk together for exercise.

chēwèi shén me为什么yì zhí一直dí dí dí嘀嘀嘀

Why do the cars keep honking?

小刚
yīn wèi因为tā men他们zǒuzàichē dào车道shàngchēguò bù qù过不去

Because they're walking in the traffic lane, so the cars can't get through.

小宝
tā men他们wèi shén me为什么gōng yuán公园zǒune

Then why don't they walk in the park?

小刚

Exactly. The park is right next to them. I saw on the news that the country is going to revise the traffic law, and in the future people won't be allowed to occupy roads for activities like this.

小宝

What will happen after the law changes?

If the police see them, they'll come and tell them to move to a park or sports field. Cars use the road, and people use the sidewalk.

小宝

I understand. Big brother, let's go home quickly. I'm a little scared.

Okay. Hold my hand. We'll walk on the sidewalk. Don't be afraid.
