Hello! Hello! Hello everybody and welcome to Learning English TV 22
Signs and the Road Part 2
OK, so we have a bus lane. Only buses can go in that lane.
only if you're going to be making a right turn can you use the bus lane
and here's a stop light
which has a whole bunch of things going on
this is actually one of the most confusing intersections in Vancouver
and because there is so much traffic a lot of people actually block the intersection because they wait too long
and there's actually a sign saying "do not block the intersection"
yeah, so we're headed downtown
I'm gonna take the left lane
OK, so this is a tricky merge that we're going to be doing onto the Lions Gate Bridge here in Vancouver
it's one of the main bridges here
because we have 1, 2,, 3, 4 lanes
that are going to turn into 1 lane
but as you can see, people are pretty polite
about letting each other in
now we're coming into Stanley Park
this is a park that is located right downtown or next to downtown Vancouver
and it's always a treat driving through the forest
welcome to downtown Vancouver
that sign over there, it means from 8 - 5 p.m. you have to drive more slowly 'cause it's near a school
so you have to go 30 km/hr and that's a little confusing because if you're not looking at your watch and
you just see the sign, you think, "oh, I have to drive more slowly". But that's not always the case
we're gonna be coming up on our next left turn here
and I believe and I hope that the sign says, "no left turn Mon. - Fri. from 3 - 6 p.m.
because it's 2:12 in the afternoon I can go, it's a really confusing sign
7 - 9:30 a.m. and 3 - 6 p.m.
and this is one of my favorite streets in downtown Vancouver
Nelson Street, it is just stunning with all these trees
roundabout
or as some of my Youtube subscribers mentioned
can also be called rotary or traffic circle
we've got a fire truck
so here's a 4 way stop, this is what I was talking about
this one's a 4 way stop, cool! no problem!
and then here it's a 2 way stop, so I have right of way
I don't have a stop sign. I just hope and pray and keep going
here we have an alley
an alley way is kind of like a back road, it's very narrow
there's also the mountains in the distance there
that always gives you a perspective of how Vancouver is surrounded by mountains
this is a parking meter, you can pay either by credit card, you can pay by phone, or you can pay in cash with coins
heading back downtown, majestic, stunning and there's still a little bit of snow on top even though we are in June
yeah and that could be our pronunciation phrase today
this guy on his motorcycle is going super slow
I guess he doesn't want to get run over by the train
well everybody, I hope you enjoyed our lesson on signs and the road and our little tour through Vancouver
Bye for now!
40 km/hr on the curve
this will be interesting, trying to hold the camera on a tight curve
