纽约州公路设“短信区”劝司机停车看手机
<p>为了遏制司机开车发短信的行为，美国纽约州近日宣布将在州内交通主干道沿线设立91个“短信区”，并沿路设指示牌，提醒司机“短信区就在前方，不用急着看手机”。纽约州州长安德鲁•库默表示，该州将继续使用各种手段遏制开车发短信行为，在实施处罚手段的同时，希望通过设立“短信区”劝导司机开车时不要看手机、发短信。“短信区”的设立并不需要额外的资金投入，纽约州只是把现有的路边停车休息区改了名字。近期发布的数据显示，纽约州警方今年夏天共对开车发短信行为开出了2万多张罚单，可见该问题的普遍性。</p><p><span word="An">An</span> <span word="AT">AT</span>&<span word="T">T</span> <span word="survey">survey</span> <span word="earlier">earlier</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="year">year</span> <span word="showed">showed</span> <span word="that">that</span> 49 <span word="percent">percent</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="adult">adult</span> <span word="drivers">drivers</span> <span word="text">text</span> <span word="while">while</span> <span word="driving">driving</span> – <span word="that">that</span>’<span word="s">s</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="lot">lot</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="point">point</span> <span word="during">during</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="journey">journey</span> <span word="taking">taking</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="off">off</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="road">road</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="tap">tap</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="message">message</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="tiny">tiny</span> <span word="keyboard">keyboard</span> <span word="while">while</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="control">control</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="fast">fast</span>-<span word="moving">moving</span> <span word="two">two</span>-<span word="ton">ton</span> <span word="hunk">hunk</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="metal">metal</span>. <span word="Or">Or</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="control">control</span>, <span word="as">as</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="case">case</span> <span word="may">may</span> <span word="be">be</span>.</p><p><span word="In">In</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="bid">bid</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="persuade">persuade</span> <span word="drivers">drivers</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="resist">resist</span> <span word="checking">checking</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="phone">phone</span> <span word="whenever">whenever</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="beeps">beeps</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="pings">pings</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="whatever">whatever</span> <span word="sound">sound</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="makes">makes</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="message">message</span> <span word="arrives">arrives</span>, <span word="New">New</span> <span word="York">York</span> <span word="State">State</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="introduce">introduce</span> <span word="so">so</span>-<span word="called">called</span> ‘<span word="Texting">Texting</span> <span word="Zones">Zones</span>’ <span word="along">along</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="major">major</span> <span word="highways">highways</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="thruways">thruways</span>.</p>
