Most road signs you come across are straightforward. They tell you what to do, which direction to go in, where you are, etc., but occasionally (and usually unintentionally), road signs can be funny! Taking pictures of funny road signs while traveling is a favorite pastime for many travelers. Weve all come across these gems: a miswritten translation; an unusual warning; or an illustration that just doesnt seem right. It might be an official highway sign or something written on a shop window. All are perfect for adding to your travel photo album and sharing with friends. And oftentimes, photographic evidence of such a sign not only makes a great souvenir, but also serves as proof for doubtful folks back home.44Unit|Unit|ThreeThreeintentionn.意图；目的；意向originalintention原始意图；初衷realintention真实意图；真正目的intentionaladj.故意的；蓄意的；策划的45Unit|Unit|ThreeThree Herere a few funny road signs found from various parts of the world theyre all real road signs.

Here are what some of the worst cities for commuters are like. In Atlanta, the fastest-growing city in America, more people flood the roadways than the infrastructure can handle. Commuters spend 60 hours a year stuck in traffic, second only to those in Los Angeles. If that is not bad enough, Atlanta is so spread out that only 29% of drivers get to and from work in less than 20 minutes, and 13% spend more than an hour getting to work. The local train system doesnt cover the entire city, and thus fails to relieve the pressure.69Unit|Unit|ThreeThreeInformation Related to the Reading PassageInformation Related to the Reading Passage Because most of the workers in Washington D.C. are commuting from the Virginia or Maryland suburbs, it can take an exceedingly long time to make it downtown. Here, 15% of commuters take over an hour to get to work, the second highest rate in the country. Drivers spend 60 hours a year stuck in traffic, and only 26% of commuters get to work in under 20 minutes. In Houston, Texas, 13% of people carpool, the highest such percentage in cities with over 2 million workers, and third among cities with more than 1 million workers. Still, unlike Dallas and Austin, Houston has largely resisted mass transit system development in favor of expanding roadways, highways and interstates to accommodate more cars.Back70Unit|Unit|ThreeThreeHow Do You Commute to Work?How Do You Commute to Work? Hanna P., Marketing Expert at a famous software company, posted online his own commuting experience and asked the netizens to share their views: I went today: by bus No. 81, then trolley bus No. 3, then underground Line 1, then bus No.139 and finally bus No. 87 (25 km all together). Who more? And actually the point of the question is: why do so many people spend lotsof time and money getting to work instead of moving near to it? It would beso nerve- and traffic-saving if everyone lived near their work.71Unit|Unit|ThreeThreeResponses Posted Online by NetizensCristina F.:In Portugal, moving next to work will certainly mean buying a house that we often cannot afford.

If I had lived next to where I worked, I would have had to move seven times in the last 30 years. That would have been difficult to my family.

I work on short-term contract assignments which can be anything from 3 to 12 months, so moving is just not a choice. In the UK it can take 3 to 6 months to buy and sell a house anyway. My current employer is about 40 miles away. Last year it was a daily round trip of 189 miles way too much!(posted 13 hours ago)Lisa N.:When I was at my last job, I drove about 10 miles one way to get there, on city roads and the interstate. It was a fast commute usually. I dont have a job right now, but when I do, I might use a park and ride system as I may be commuting from the suburbs to the city. I might also use the light rail if it is available.(posted 13 hours ago)73Unit|Unit|ThreeThreeNatalie K.:I also have around 25 km to the office, and I go by car.
