Traffic in Moscow

Can you read the sign under the traffic light? Yes, it says "STOP"! Russians drive on the right side of the road like we do and the rules of the road seem to be a lot like ours. You could tell what the traffic signs said even if you couldn't read Russian. Street names were something else. The guide books recommend that you hire a driver unless you are REALLY comfortable with the cyrillic lettering. It's a huge city with lots of lanes of traffic. The strangeness of the trip was due as much to the size of the city as it was to cultural differences.
