AZUZ: You`ve seen stop signs and you`ve seen drivers ignore stop signs -- the common problem at one intersection in Branson, Missouri. So, city officials decided 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 entirely, but it`s a stop closer to a stop drop-off and stop sign violations. 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。
