cesta

a way or track that is built or made by people walking over the same ground

What is a "path"?

A path is a track or way that forms naturally over time as people repeatedly walk over the same area. It may start as a small trail that becomes more defined and visible from constant use. Paths are often found in parks, forests, or rural areas, where they are created by foot traffic as people travel along the same route. These paths may not be formally constructed but are shaped by the movement of individuals who pass over the ground consistently.

What is a "high-rise"?

A high-rise is a tall building with many floors, typically designed for residential, commercial, or mixed-use purposes. High-rises are commonly found in urban areas where space is limited, and they provide a way to accommodate large numbers of people or businesses in a smaller ground area. These buildings are often equipped with elevators to allow easy access to higher floors and may include amenities like parking, gyms, or pools. High-rises are a common feature of city skylines and are known for offering impressive views from upper levels.

Road signs are essential for keeping traffic organized, ensuring safety, and helping travelers navigate their way.

What is a "parking meter"?

A parking meter is a device placed on streets where drivers pay a fee to park their vehicles for a set amount of time. The meter is usually located near parking spaces, and drivers must insert coins, cards, or use a mobile app to pay for parking. The meter tracks how long the vehicle is parked and signals when the time is up. If the time expires and the vehicle is still parked, the driver may be fined.

What is a "pedestrian crossing"?

A pedestrian crossing is a marked area on a road or street where people are allowed to cross safely. It is typically located at intersections or other high-traffic areas and is often indicated by signs, painted lines, or lights to make it clear to drivers where pedestrians may cross. Pedestrian crossings help ensure the safety of people walking across the street by giving them a designated place to cross, and in some cases, traffic signals may control when it is safe for pedestrians to move and when vehicles should stop.

zpomalovací práh

a raised portion of a road surface designed to slow down vehicles in order to increase safety for pedestrians or other drivers

What is a "speed bump"?

A speed bump is a raised area on a road or street designed to slow down vehicles. It is typically made of asphalt, rubber, or concrete and is placed in areas where drivers need to reduce speed, such as near schools, parking lots, or residential neighborhoods. Speed bumps are shorter and more abrupt than speed humps, which are designed to slow traffic over a longer distance. They help improve safety by encouraging drivers to drive at lower speeds, reducing the risk of accidents and allowing pedestrians to cross more safely.
