335 Words2 Pages

Your ask a number of specific questions which I have answered below as fully as possible

Unfortunately, we no longer hold any records relating to the scheme that installed speed hump on Fords Grove or Firs Lane and officers who would have been involved are no longer with the Council. Consequently, it is not possible to say why there are speed humps in these roads.

2) “Do you accept ,or disagree, that a blind hump bridge, the other side of which the road narrows to one lane, is an extremely dangerous and risky situation?”

Due to the nature of hump backed bridges reducing forward visibility there can be a reduction in speed

    886 Words  | 4 Pages

    In New York City the decade of the 1920s was a prosperous and carefree time for many people that featured an economic boom in regards to automobiles, radios, and telephones. It was a decade of change for many reasons and for Fernand Leger it was a decade of demobilization with the theme of the city. Leger used this time to focus on the city and make it the inspiration for his new line of paintings. He wanted people to embrace the industrial time and using it in his paintings gave the topic emphasis. In Fernand Legers painting, The Bridge of the Tug, he uses sharp, simple shapes to depict his view of New York in a way that is chaotic and machine like in order to encourage society to embrace the new industrial era.

Subtle shifts in narration are present but often hard to detect in this work .

Whereas other parts are written in first person, told from Payton Farquhar’s point of view, resembling that of an interior monologue. These shifts in narration are key in furthering evidence the disassociation Farquhar has with his situation.

  • How Did The I-35 Bridge Collapse

    In this paper, I am going to use Utilitarianism to analyze the collapse of the I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis. The I-35W Bridge was the main route that commuters used to cross the Mississippi River (Fleddermann 113). When the bridge collapsed, “thirteen people were killed and 145 people were injured” (Fleddermann 113). The National Transportation and Safety Board and the Federal Highway Administration conducted an investigation into what might have caused the collapse and found that the gusset plates used to fasten the steel beams together were half of the required thickness to support the weight of the bridge. The best solution to this case will be the solution that produces the most pleasure and the least amount of pain.

    2638 Words  | 11 Pages

    An introduction to highway building: Although there are many methods to constructing a road, all are based on the principle that geographical objects are removed and replaced with harder and more wear-resistant materials. The pre-existing rock and earth is removed by digging or explosions. Tunnels, embankments and bridge are then added when necessary. The material that the road is being constructed from is then laid by various pieces of equipment, which will be looked at in greater detail in this assignment. The construction management of roads has become increasingly more difficult as larger structures are constantly being required in increasingly short amounts of time.
