Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is a radio based high-speed mobile data standard which acts as an enhancement for general packet tadio service (GPRS) networks. EDGE (also known as EGPRS) is a superset to GPRS and can function on any network with GPRS deployed on it, provided the carrier implements the necessary upgrades. 6, record 1, English, - Enhanced%20Data%20Rates%20for%20GSM%20Evolution

Si la réduction des vitesses est le principal objectif des mesures d’apaisement de la circulation, celles-ci ont un effet sur les volumes d’automobiles et cela sans réduire l'accessibilité aux quartiers apaisés. En effet, le besoin de barrer les accès à un quartier est diminué, le rallongement du temps de parcours à l'intérieur du quartier apaisé dissuadant le transit. On s’épargne ainsi un inconvénient des mesures traditionnelles qui impliquent de changer les sens de rue ou la création de cul-de-sac. Ces moyens sont efficaces pour barrer l'accès à la circulation de transit, mais nuisent aux résidants eux-mêmes. 2, record 8, French, - barri%C3%A8re%20cul%2Dde%2Dsac
