俄羅斯爲防車禍出奇招 女模裸胸高舉限速牌

A road safety campaign in Russia has come up with an inventive way to force drivers to slow down - by using topless women to carry speed limit signs.

近日，俄羅斯一個道路安全宣傳活動用頗具創意的方式讓路上的司機減速：那就是讓裸胸美女在路邊舉着限速牌。

The scheme involves near naked women parading along the side of the road at accident blackspots.

該活動還包括讓衣着清涼的女性在事故多發路段遊行。

A trial showed that the idea significantly slowed traffic near a pedestrian crossing in Severny village, in the central Nizhny Novgorod region.

在下諾夫哥羅德區中心的塞弗尼村開展的公路安全活動試點結果顯示，這一舉措的效果還不錯，車輛在經過人行橫道時都會減速。

Road safety campaign Avtodrizhenia, who staged the trial, said that 'most speeding drivers, the majority of whom happened to be men, slowed down to admire the female road safety assistants.'

本次交通安全宣傳活動的發起人Avtodrizhenia說道：“大多數超速司機（主要是男性）會把車速降下來欣賞這些協助維持交通安全的女性。”

While the trial dates from 2013, the idea has been revived as part of a new national debate on reducing the 30,000 a year deaths on Russia's roads.

其實這項試點活動從2013年就開始了，但近來由於俄羅斯國內又在爭論如何減少每年3萬起交通死亡事故，這個創意就重新獲得了關注。

The topless women held signs warning of 60 and 40 kilometres per hour. There were no reports of accidents caused by drivers being distracted.

裸胸女性高舉時速60公里和40公里的限速警告牌。目前還沒有司機因此分心而造成事故的報道。

Elderly pedestrians were grateful for the bizarre method, claiming they took their lives in their hands each time they use the designated road crossing.

老年人對這一不走尋常路的活動十分支持，他們表示，每次過交叉路口時，都好像與“死神擦肩而過”。

One female pensioner said: 'Drivers do not let us cross. Some of them do but many others just fly past. They even shout at us - 'why are you walking here?' Can you believe it?'

一名老婦人說道：“那些司機從來不讓我們先過馬路，有些人會慢下來讓我們通過，但很多人都會飛快駛過。你能相信嗎？他們甚至朝我們大喊大叫--'你們爲什麼從這兒走？'”

One of the models who stripped off for the experiment said: 'Our drivers usually do not slow down when they pass a village or a settlement even though there are speed limit signs by the road. So we have to make them do it.'

參加該活動的一位女模特表示：“司機們在通過村莊或交叉路口時通常不會減速。即使有限速標誌也沒用。所以，我們必須讓他們慢下來。”

A male driver said: 'It's super thing, amazing. I'd like to see more of this by the road, and yes I looked at speed limit sign this time. It will teach other drivers too.'

一位男性司機則對此表示：“這個主意太棒了，我很樂意在路邊看到更多美女限速牌，而且這回我真的看到了限速標誌。別的司機也一定會看的。”
