Frogger or Crossing the Road in Beijing

In China, there are many ways to cross the road.  My favorite way is by underground tunnel or bridge.  Some areas are do not have areas to get to the other side without stepping in front of a car.  I would equate the experience to the game Frogger.  When we needed to cross the road, we would follow the locals.  It is not for the faint of heart.  Some of these people trust that the drivers will stop. 
Although these people are crossing at a crosswalk, don't be fooled by the stopping cars.  They will keep going.  When you cross, you start and just keep on going.  I guess at the same time praying no one will hit you.  Like I said, we preferred the tunnels or bridges.
