【读新闻学英语】Waterview隧道附近限速为啥老变？
By 新西兰中文先驱网· 2018年07月25日 02:00
The speed limit around the Waterview Tunnel increased to 100km/h on Monday but since then the speed limit has changed between 80km/h and 100km/h several times.
本周一，Waterview隧道周围的速度限制上升至100公里/小时，但是此后，限速又在80公里/小时和100公里/小时之间变化了好几次。
Speed limit：速度限制
The NZ Transport Agency announced it would be increasing the variable speed limits on sections of State Highways 16 and 20 around the tunnel to allow maximum speeds of 100km/h in certain driving conditions.
新西兰交通局宣布将增加隧道周围16号和20号高速部分路段的可变限速，以便在某些驾驶条件下允许最高速度达到100公里/小时。
Variable：可变的
NZTA acting system design manager Kevin Reid said speed limits were likely to be reduced during peak periods when there were typically high traffic volumes and in the event of incidents, crashes, maintenance work or extreme weather conditions.
NZTA代理系统设计经理Kevin Reid表示，在通常交通量很大的高峰期、发生事故、车祸时、正进行道路维护工作或在极端天气条件下，最高限速可能会减小。
Acting：代理
Traffic volume：交通量
Maintenance work：维护工作
That is why the speed limit is not always 100km/h.
这就是最高限速并不总是100公里/小时的原因。
Variable speed limits meant that the maximum legal speed limit could change between 30km/h and 100km/h and be adjusted for the road and driving conditions.
可变限速意味着最大法定速度限制可在30公里/小时和100公里/小时之间变化，并会根据道路和驾驶条件进行调整。
Driving condition：驾驶条件
The first phase would happen on SH16 between St Lukes and Rosebank and on SH20 between Maioro St and Dominion Rd, he said.
他说，第一段可变限速将发生在St Lukes和Rosebank之间的SH16路段以及Maioro St和Dominion Rd之间的SH20路段。
The second phase, on SH16 between St Lukes and closer to the central motorway junction.
第二段限速在St Lukes和中央高速公路交界处附近之间的SH16路段。
Reid said it was very important for drivers to watch the motorway signs and be aware the speed limit in the variable speed limit zones will be different at different times of day.
Reid表示，对于驾驶员来说，注意高速公路指示牌非常重要，而且司机们要意识到变速限制区域的限速在一天的不同时间会有所不同。
Be aware：注意到；觉得
In the weekday morning peak period, the maximum speed for traffic heading into the city on SH16 is 80km/h between Rosebank Rd and St Lukes.
在工作日的早高峰期，Rosebank Rd和St Lukes之间SH16的最高限速为80公里/小时。
Peak period：早高峰期
At all other times it is 100km/h.
其他所有的时间都是100公里/小时。
During the evening peak period, the heavier traffic flow on SH16 is out of the city and the variable speed limit between St Lukes and Rosebank Road is 80km/h. At all other times it is 100km/h.
在傍晚高峰期，市区外的SH16上的交通流量较大，St Lukes和Rosebank Road之间的可变速度限制为80公里/小时。其他所有时间都是100公里/小时。
On weekends and other off peak times the maximum speed limit will be 100km/h.
在周末和其他非高峰时段，最高车速限制为100公里/小时。
Off peak time：非高峰时间
Speed limits can also be lowered at any time in the event of incidents, crashes, maintenance work or extreme weather conditions.
在发生事故、车祸时，道路正在维护中或遇极端天气情况时，速度限制也会随时降低。
