DEF

… an adaptation of football for athletes with a visual impairment.

CONT

Football 5-a-side made its Paralympic debut at the Athens Games in 2004 and is open to athletes with visual impairments. There are five players on each team and the game lasts 50 minutes. Rules are similar to the able-bodied game with a few modifications. The ball makes noise when it moves and everyone, aside from the goalkeeper, uses eye shades to ensure fairness. The goalkeeper may be sighted and act as a guide during the game. Also, the measurements of the field are smaller and there are no offside rulings.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Freeways and Expressways
  • Road Networks
DEF

A highway with full control of access, all crossroads grade-separated, and interchanges with major crossroads.

CONT

Technically a motorway is a highway limited to motor vehicles, with two separate carriageways, each wide enough for at least two streams of traffic. Access is severely restricted to a few specially designed intersections, there are no grade crossings and no frontage development is permitted except to provide facilities essential to the motorway itself. Hard shoulders adjacent to the carriageway enable vehicles to stop clear of the running lanes in an emergency ... This type of construction enables high speeds and uninterrupted flows of traffic to be attained with a high degree of safety.
