American Dream Definition : The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, the set of ideals (democracy, rights, liberty, opportunity and equality) in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, as well as an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers.

They are water-spraying poles (as shown in the pictures below) for the pedestrians who don't respect the rules. The Chinese province of Hubei came up with the idea of installing lines of yellow poles on two sides of a crossover capable of detecting pedestrians who forcing the zebra crossing and sprinkling them with water. Examples of these poles, in Daye, Hubei Province. Road accidents can be avoided in the simplest of ways. It consists first and foremost of a respect for road safety also valid for pedestrians. How many pedestrians try, every day, to "force" the pedestrian crossing while the little guy is red ? Decisions that can lead to dramatic consequences. So, in China, a province had the idea of setting up a special facility to deter these "delinquents" from pedestrian crossings. In the city of Daye, in Hubei provin
