Japanese Rain Control

In Japan, especially in neighborhoods, there are these huge gutter systems that run along the edge of the road. Because, at least were I live, there aren't ditches, they need these gutters to keep the water off the road.

Many times homeowners will put metal sheets over parts of the gutter so that they can drive their cars over it or just for safety. When riding bikes you might fall in, so be careful!

I only got a few pictures, but I think you can get an idea of how these work.  At certain parts of every gutter there is a vertical drain which I assume goes to sewer system.
