AZUZ: You`ve seen stop signs and you`ve seen drivers ignore stop signs -- the common problem at one intersection¹ in Branson, Missouri. So, city officials decided² to make two octagonal signs, one saying "stop" and another saying "really you gotta stop". They say it`s a great attention grabber and that it has reduced the high number of crashes they`ve seen at the intersection. But whether or not drivers find it amusing, well, haters are going to ignore stop signs.

你已经看到了停车标志，并且你也看到了司机们无视这些停车标志——这是密苏里州布兰森市十字路口所存在的常见问题。因此，政府官员们决定制作两个八角形标志牌，一个表示“停”，另一个表示“你真的要停”。他们表示这引发了大量关注。它大量减少了道路交通事故。但对于怀恨者们完全忽视停车标志，司机们是否会觉得有趣呢。

So, you can`t really say it`s stopping traffic or stopping accidents entirely³, but it`s a stop closer to a stop drop-off and stop sign violations⁴. A sign of the times that makes everyone see red, and even made the news media stop by so you could see it stop the press.

所以你真的不能片面的说它可以中断交通或彻底地避免交通事故，但这使交通事故很少发生并且使司机们停止违反规则，这个时代的特征使得每个人都很容易火冒三丈，甚至使得新闻媒体顺便拜访，因此你可以看到它能够阻止媒体。
