Traffic in Mediterranean countries is “different”, no doubt. And probably directed by a Guardian Angel more than once…
It took me a while to get used to this:

but after a week or so it was okay.
What is sickening is the number of vehicles that drove by before someone stopped.
All I could think of was my daughter. We are living on Queen St right now and I in a constant state of fear whenever we go for a walk to the park.
I’ll be holding on a little tighter now.
The written story by Sajid Wahid, Ankara/Turkey:
Security cameras in turkey have recorded the sight of a baby crawling onto a highway and startling drivers who waved frantically to other motorists to get out of the way. The 1-year-old toddler survived.
The video footage from the incident was taken in the Southern tourist town of Antalya and shown on Turkish television channels. It shows a baby crawling out of the arms of his mother, who had fallen asleep while begging on the sidewalk.
The baby is seen climbing down the sidewalk and sitting on the side of the highway, just a couple of feet away from passing vehicles in heavy highway traffic.
A local news agency says drivers called the police, who returned the baby to his mother. She was released after a short time in custody.
