A Chinese man has been fined after he was captured on surveillance footage painting new road signs in a bid to make his daily commute easier.

　　一中国小伙儿为了通勤路上避免拥堵，蘸着油漆涂改路面标线，在监控录像中被发现，最终被处以罚款1000元的行政处罚。

　　The Modern Express reports that a 28-year-old man surnamed Cai, was fined 1,000 yuan in the eastern city of Lianyungang, Jiangsu province. He was captured on camera on 27 September with a can of white paint painting new arrows onto the road to redirect traffic, and told police it was the result of frustrations over the long delays on his daily bus journey to work.

　　据《现代快报》报道，中国东部城市江苏省连云港的一名蔡姓男子被处以罚款1000元的行政处罚。11月27日，监控录像捕捉到，他拿着刷子，蘸着油漆涂改路面标线。他告诉警察，他这么做，是因为每天坐公交上班，这段路实在太堵了。

　　I saw that the straight lane was always packed with cars, while the lane that turns left has a lot of space, he told the police. "I thought changing the signs would make my commute smoother."

　　他告诉警察，“我看左转弯(车道)车少，但占了一个车道，我就想在左转弯车道多画个直行箭头，加快直行的速度” 。

　　Traffic police told Modern Express that they thought Mr Cai’s behaviour was "very dangerous" and could have resulted in a collision. They have since deployed workers to repaint the road.

　　交警告诉《现代快报》的记者，蔡某的行为特别危险，有可能导致交通事故。他们已经找来施工人员，用深色涂料重新刷了一遍。

　　This is not the first time that someone in China has used their arts and crafts skills to invent their own traffic rules. In May, a driver in eastern Zhejiang was fined after surveillance footage captured him drawing his own parking space with chalk on a road.

　　用自己的工具重新涂刷交通标识，这种事情在中国已经不是第一次。5月份，浙江东部的一名司机就因为被监控录像捕捉到自己画车位，而遭受处罚。
