I'd like to comment on a few innacuracies concerning this bit here:
"Most streets have cloverleafs or traffic circles rather than intersections or traffic lights, so cars have no reason to stop. It is virtually impossible for pedestrians to travel east and west in the city without crossing the axial expressway and risking their lives."
In spite of having this fluid traffic, there is a rather efficient system of traffic lights that allows a pedestrian to cross from virtually every supersquare to another. As for the axial expressway, there are underground galleries, which pedestrians often choose not to use for reasons other than bad city planning (at least, regarding the original concept). Also, there's a somewhat high number of radars all around the city, so it's not like the cars are able to travel faster than expected anyway. It is true though, that the city is far from being pedestrian-friendly, but for other reasons (such as great distances due to the way the city was divided).
Other than that, shouldn't this bit of information be moved to "Brasília" anyway?
(Does anyone even read these talk pages, by the way?)
