Time we stopped spilling blood on streets

The Hangzhou government has got red-and-yellow hearts painted on the city's major zebra crossings to drive more driving sense into drivers. The wider and more eye-catching crossings are part of a campaign to raise traffic law awareness among both drivers and pedestrians.

But the "save-life" campaign launched after Hu Bin ran over a pedestrian on May 7 couldn't save the life of a 17-year-old girl. Ma Fangfang, a migrant worker, was walking over the "save-life" zebra crossings on Mogan Road on Tuesday night when Wei Zhigang drove his Porsche into her.

This is another case of a rich, young brat running over an innocent pedestrian. And it comes when Hu Bin's case is still in the headlines.
