When a driver enters an intersection and is unable to travel all the way through, they prevent cross traffic movement, and endanger other travelers by blocking crosswalks and bike lanes. In other words, blocking the box is unsafe, illegal and causes traffic congestion. 4, record 1, English, - blocking%20the%20box

Squirrels mainly travel between the tree crowns. Wherever trees are too far apart, as is the case around roads, they venture onto the ground. As six roads cross through the Gijsbrecht van Aemstelpark, squirrels would end up as road kill victims. To put an end to this situation, six squirrel bridges were created in 2012. In places where several squirrels had been run over, rope bridges were created to give squirrels safe passage between the tree crowns on either side of the lane. 2, record 2, English, - squirrel%20bridge

Le choix d'un itinéraire répond aux exigences suivantes (parfois contradictoires entre elles). - minimisation du risque : recherche des zones les plus sûres ou les moins exposées (avalanche, crevasse, ressaut, pente raide); - principe d'économie : réduction des efforts inutiles. [...] Inutile par exemple de se perdre dans la végétation (vernes, forêt dense) alors qu'on peut la contourner [...]; - recherche esthétique : recherche de la progression la plus [...] variée, offrant le plus beau point de vue, etc.; - simplicité : recherche du cheminement le plus logique. Il existe des lignes plus évidentes que d'autres : thalweg, crête, combe; - facilité : par temps de brouillard, il faut des points ou des lignes faciles à trouver ou à suivre, quitte à faire un long détour. On a donné ici des critères fixes liés le plus souvent à la topographie. On peut aussi tenir compte des facteurs variables (nivologiques par exemple) [...] De toute manière, c'est sur le terrain que se fait le choix définitif. 1, record 3, French, - choix%20d%27itin%C3%A9raire

The main truss segments-S0, P1, S1, P3, and S3-were designed as rigid hexagonal sections; a six-point structure is more rigid than one with four points. The hexagonal cross section also maximizes the volume that can be used to load equipment onto the truss. A square will not use the available volume as well as a hexagon.... The truss segments are not regular hexagons; the sides are not equal in length. The segments are wider than they are tall to further exploit the Shuttle payload bay area... The hexagonal truss segments also contain a robotic manipulator arm that travels along two longerons on one plane of the hexagonal truss. The 55 ft(17 m) long robotic arm being built by the Canadian Space Agency will be launched with the S0 segment and will travel the length of the truss. 6, record 5, English, - P3%20truss
