Responsible Citizenry – Toronto man directs traffic after lights go out at a large intersection until the police show

June 6, 2013 at 10:20 pm

It is amazing how cool and unfazed this young man (Artur, who is 21yrs old, according to the notes in YouTube) was while handling the traffic at such a busy intersection in Toronto.  What’s even more amazing is the response from the drivers..  They just follow his guidance and move along without much trouble.. Above all, kudos to the cops for not arresting him (which could very well be the case in some cities in the US).

How often you see the leader of a nation get down to the street and direct traffic flow?  The answer is NEVER. But that changed today. The Prime Minister of East Timor, Xanana Gusmao, turned traffic cop on Monday after his car got stuck in a traffic jam outside the presidential office in the capital Dili.
