| Test 1-Section 2 | ||
| [00:50.93 | Good evening everyone. | |
| [00:53.51 | My name's Phil Sutton, and I'm chairman of the Highways Committee. | |
| [00:58.52 | We've called this meeting to inform members of the public about the new regulations for traffic and parking we're proposing for Granford. | |
| [01:07.89 | I'll start by summarising these changes before we open the meeting to questions. | |
| [01:14.43 | So, why do we need to make these changes to traffic systems in Granford? | |
| [01:19.76 | Well, we're very aware that traffic is becoming an increasing problem. | |
| [01:25.71 | It's been especially noticeable with the increase in heavy traffic while they've been building the new hospital. | |
| [01:32.43 | But it's the overall rise in the volume of traffic of all kinds that's concerning us. | |
| [01:38.70 | To date there's not been any increase in traffic accidents, but that's not something we want to see happen, obviously. | |
| [01:46.36 | We recently carried out a survey of local residents, and their responses were interesting. | |
| [01:53.60 | People were very concerned about the lack of visibility on some roads due to cars parked along the sides of the roads. | |
| [02:02.07 | We'd expected complaints about the congestion near the school when parents are dropping off their children or picking them up, but this wasn't top of the list, and nor were noise and fumes from trucks and lorries, though they were mentioned by some people. | |
| [02:19.23 | We think these new traffic regulations would make a lot of difference. | |
| [02:24.21 | But we still have a long way to go. | |
| [02:26.66 | We've managed to keep our proposals within budget, just, so they can be covered by the Council. | |
| [02:33.51 | But, of course, it's no good introducing new regulations if we don't have a way of making sure that everyone obeys them, and that's an area we're still working on with the help of representatives from the police force. | |
| [03:38.22 | OK, so this slide shows a map of the central area of Granford, with the High Street in the middle and School Road on the right. | |
| [03:48.36 | Now, we already have a set of traffic lights in the High Street at the junction with Station Road, but we're planning to have another set at the other end, at the School Road junction, to regulate the flow of traffic along the High Street. | |
| [04:04.32 | We've decided we definitely need a pedestrian crossing. | |
| [04:09.62 | We considered putting this on School Road, just outside the school, but in the end we decided that could lead to a lot of traffic congestion so we decided to locate it on the High Street, crossing the road in front of the supermarket. | |
| [04:25.11 | That's a very busy area, so it should help things there. | |
| [04:28.76 | We're proposing some changes to parking. | |
| [04:32.04 | At present, parking isn't allowed on the High Street outside the library, but we're going to change that, and allow parking there, but not at the other end of the High Street near School Road. | |
| [04:46.12 | There'll be a new 'No Parking' sign on School Road, just by the entrance to the school, forbidding parking for 25 metres. | |
| [04:55.17 | This should improve visibility for drivers and pedestrians, especially on the bend just to the north of the school. | |
| [05:02.59 | As far as disabled drivers are concerned, at present they have parking outside the supermarket, but lorries also use those spaces, so we've got two new disabled parking spaces on the side road up towards the bank. | |
| [05:19.92 | It's not ideal, but probably better than the present arrangement. | |
| [05:24.28 | We also plan to widen the pavement on School Road. | |
| [05:28.87 | We think we can manage to get an extra half-metre on the bend just before you get to the school, on the same side of the road. | |
| [05:36.26 | Finally, we've introduced new restrictions on loading and unloading for the supermarket, so lorries will only be allowed to stop there before 8 am. | |
| [05:47.29 | That's the supermarket on School Road - we kept to the existing arrangements with the High Street supermarket. | |
| [05:58.42 | OK. | |
| [05:59.30 | So that's about it. | |
| [05:59.37 | Now, would anyone ... | |
翻译
| 各位晚上好。 |
| 我是Phil Sutton，是路政委员会的主席。 |
| 我们召集这次会议的目的是通知公众我们为Granford提出的交通和停车的新规定。 |
| 我会先总结新交规中的变动，然后接受提问。 |
| 那么，为什么我们需要对Granford的交通系统做出这些改变呢？ |
| 是这样的，我们非常清楚交通正在成为一个日益严重的问题。 |
| 在建造新医院的同时，交通量的增加尤为明显。 |
| 但我们所担心的是各种交通总量的整体增长。 |
| 截止目前，车祸的发生率没有增加。当然，交通事故也不是我们想要看到的事情。 |
| 我们最近对当地居民进行了调查，他们的回答很有意思。 |
| 由于汽车停在道路两边，人们非常担心一些路段行人或者车辆的视野受阻。 |
| 我们原以为居民会对家长加送孩子导致学校附近路段拥堵的情况有意见，但是这并不是他们反映最强烈的问题。货车和卡车的噪音和尾气也不是，尽管有人提到过这些问题。 |
| 我们认为这些新的交通规则将会产生很大影响。 |
| 但我们还有很长的路要走。 |
| 我们已经设法将我们的提案保持在预算范围内，所以这件事的费用可以由理事会承担。 |
| 当然，如果我们不能确保每个人都遵守规定，那么引入新的规定也无济于事了，我们正在警方代表的帮助下努力解决这方面的问题。 |
| 这张幻灯片展示了Granford中心区域的地图，中间是High Street，右边是School Road。 |
| 目前，High Street和Station Road的路口处已经设有交通灯。但我们计划在High Street与School Road路口处再放置一组交通灯来调节High Street的车流量。 |
| 我们认为人行横道十分必要。 |
| 我们考虑把它放在School Road，就在学校外面，但是最后我们觉得这可能会导致很多交通堵塞，所以我们决定把它放在High Street上，（也就是）超市的对街。 |
| 这是一个非常繁忙的区域，所以它应该会其作用。 |
| 我们建议对停车场做出一些改动。 |
| 目前，位于High Street的图书馆外不许停车，但我们想要改变这一情况，也就是允许在那里停车，但是不允许在High Street的另一端，（也就是）School Road附近（停车）。 |
| School Road上将会设一个新的“禁止停车”的标志，从学校入口开始的25米范围内都将禁止停车。 |
| 这应该可以方便司机和行人观察路况，尤其是当他们在学校北面的拐弯处时。 |
| 对于残疾司机而言，目前他们可以在超市外停车，但卡车也在使用这些空间，所以我们在通往银行的小路上设置了两个新的残疾人停车位。 |
| 这并不理想，但可能比目前的安排要好。 |
| 我们还计划加宽School Road上的人行道。 |
| 我们可以把学校前的同侧弯道拓宽半米。 |
| 最后，我们对超市的装卸设了新的限制，因此卡车只有在早上8点之前可以停在那里。 |
| 刚才说的是在School Road上的超市，High Street的超市保持现有的安排。 |
| 好的。 |
| 内容就是这些。 |
| 现在，有人想要…… |
