A CCTV news

35、program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.Many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research（研究）group at Tongji University. The team did research on peo
