victorazy: Lmao. In developed countries, these points are many along the course of the road. Also, their vehicles are fitted with emergency numbers tagged “SOS” that can be used to call for help. Satellite calls that connect literally anywhere within such countries. Na where your car spoil mechanic go come meet you. I know for a fact Mercedes USA had this feature from way back. My dad’s former 2004 M Class had the feature. If you try calling the emergency number from Naija, the message response is something like “This feature is not functioning in your region” Naija dey far behind the world my brother. |

Pwettylinda: They are called Lay-bys. Vehicles may pull off the road and stop there, but only emergency services can use the outermost lane on both sides. Like someone wrote already it's on Third mainland bridge and some major roads too, except that we don't have a dedicated lanes marked for emergency corridors. |

ivolt: Lol... so would it be wrong if he had said "humans". They told the guy that said "science student got nothing to do with this" that science student is an umbrella term that describes OP's specific audience (people studying science courses), and your counter is to bring up a larger umbrella term that does not specifically describe the target audience? The first commenter didn't ask the OP to narrow it down to civil engineers. He categorically said science students got nothing to do with this, which is wrong. So I don't see how your response invalidates the correction. Even if the OP had said "humans", it would still be OK only that it would enlarge the audience. But telling him that it wasn't okay to say "science students" is wrong, and that was just the correction the person you quoted was making. |

It is call a lay-by in road construction i e a place where vehicle can stop for a short time without affecting other traffic. |

etrange:Do humans have anything to do with road construction? If yes, then we can ask humans too. You cannot reinterpret the OP's question based on context while taking the respondent's own literally. I don't accept your definition of science students because the normal usage in our society covers students in secondary schools who may or may not further or change discipline later. This is like asking: Hey science students, my heart is beating so fast after eating rabbit and my fingernails are turning yellow too. What could be the cause and do I need to worry? We all know the right people to ask! |

IT'S A LAY-BY, ENABLING MOTORISTS TO STOP IN EMERGENCIES RATHER THAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT'S COMMON ON BRITISH ROADS. |
Re: Why Is This Road Designed Like This? (Pictured) by etrange: 7:41pm On Aug 06, 2023 |
ivolt: Your first sentence shows you probably still don't get it. I said YES we can ask humans too and that will not be wrong because science students are humans. Cause of the larger audience, you may not get your answer fast, but you'd still get it anyway. What is wrong is saying "science students has nothing to do with this". And that is the correction the person you quoted was making. So bringing up "human" doesn't invalidate the correction. Human, science students, civil engineers, etc. They're all correct, some more specific than others. If the first commenter had said something in the line of "I think you should narrow your response down to civil engineers to get a better or faster answer", then he would be right. But he categorically said science students got nothing to do with this, and there's no universe in which that is correct. I don't know about the society you're talking about. I know science student to be anyone studying sciences. That's literally what it means. That's the wilder/general definition. Whatever definition you have in your society is specific to your society, and your can't use that to conclude that it's wrong for someone on the internet to ask science students about road construction, someone you don't even know where they are. Finally, it wouldn't be wrong to ask science students questions about the heart. The only reason why people would frown at that your question at the end is because it's a matter of life and death, and as such, should addressed specifically to a specialist. However, the question OP asked isn't a matter of life and death, it was just to satisfy his curiosity, and that throws your analogy straight out of the window. |
