Hello! Hello! Hello Everybody and welcome to Learning English TV 21
signs and the road
so you can see there's a roundabout behind me and the cars have to go around and take turns
and you have to yield, yes yield to traffic in the roundabout
yield means that you have to give way to the cars that come first
you can also see that there is a crosswalk for people to cross
and here in Canada if people are crossing, then that means that they have right of way
so roundabout
OK, so here's a sign that you see all over my neighborhood, "share the road"
which means that bicycles and cars have to share the road equally
bicycles/cyclists are really respected on the road(mostly)
OK, so here we have a four-way stop that means that everybody has to stop
not all the time
we have "no right turn"
so we have four-way stops and I'll see if I can find a two-way stop for you guys
see your teacher's doing a lot of hard work today
walking up a very steep hill
to find more signs
and there's a sign saying that we have to "merge"
merge onto highway 1
so we speed up
left turn signal on
yeah, and now we're on highway 1. So the right lane, that's the one that we're in, there are two lanes on this highway
now we're in the left lane
OK, I don't want to go too close(closely) behind this guy in front of me because I could get a ticket
yes, I could get a ticket for what is called "tailgating"
tailgating means that you are driving too close(closely) behind the car in front of you
and I've seen people tailgate here all the time
trying to force the car in front of you to go faster
but I'm a nice drive and I'm not going to do that
I'm a nice driver, aren't I Leda(camerwoman)?
OK, so here we are at the stop lights, unfortunately there's no left turn light 'cause it's Sunday
but usually in Canada there's a left turn light
yeah, another thing that you can do in Canada and the United States
is that you can make a right turn on a red light
well everybody I really hope you enjoyed my lesson on "Signs and the Road"
there was a lot of vocabulary. a lot of driving and a lot of walking
I look forward to our next lesson online! Bye for now!
let me put my seatbelt on
