Riding on the roads of Dubai is essentially a fieldtrip in itself. There is so much to see form the drop-dead architecture to the metro; from the vigorously kept grass to the natural desert, and of course the tantalizing advertisements. Whether it’s a new product or a new city you’ll see it… on cardboard. Oh, did I mention the expensive line-up of luxury cars that roam around too? The highway is surrounded by high rises and each one has its own unique architecture. Being a rather futuristic/touristy city all the buildings seem to have adapted a code. Rule number one would probably be: One must create a unique and eye-catching exterior. Rule number two: One must decorate said exterior with astounding array of lights when sun sets.

You can sometimes see the metro running alongside the highway on the elevated bridge. But, of course, not the whole highway is surrounded by buildings. There are also many construction sites which give a window into what Dubai used to be like: a lot of dust and sand. There are some parts however, in which one might spot a bit of greenery. It’s both artificial and real at the same time. Artificial in the sense that it’s not natural to the land and that it must be watered ten times a day to maintain, and real in the sense that it’s not a piece of plastic. Which is commendable because of the arid climate here. As I’m sure we all know, no road is complete without advertisements and Dubai is no different. For example it’s hard to miss the huge brick wall that runs a few miles long advertising Dubai Sports City that is currently being built. Or the huge structure that’s concealing the construction site of Dubai Lagoon and at the same time is ostentatiously showing off what it’s supposed to look like. Then of course there are the regular advertisements of phones and such glowing at nighttime and commanding your attention. But no analysis of the roads of Dubai is complete without the cars that roam on the road. Mostly you’ll see the average Toyota or Nissan. But also accompanying them are Benzes, Lexi, and other luxury/exotic cars. The unusual thing is the quantity of these types of cars which number unusually high. I suppose it fits with the image of ease,
A shot rings out in the night and soon after, there is a body in the streets. Within days there are multiple eye witnesses on the news, protests in the streets and silence from official sources. This has become an all too common occurrence today in regards to police where the public outcry after deadly force incident can go out of control before officials have had a chance to review the facts. Nearly 1,000 people were killed by police in 2016, with 2017 on pace to top that (Washington Post). One of the most publicly sought after improvements, as there are few answers, to his situation is the mandatory use of body cameras by law enforcement officials. In theory, body cameras would preserve a public record of at least
It is important to realize the basic facts that are associated with cars and with BMW in particular, and that different demographic are attracted towards different types of car, to later understand that even though the product in the ad may be amazing but the ad itself is not. Did you know that in 2010 the number of cars in the world reached a billion (Noël)? Today’s culture is highly surrounded and based on the use of cars. They are such a prominent part of our culture today that if an alien were to visit our planet right now they might just consider cars to be the dominant form of life (The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy). There are so many different types, and makes of cars that they can suit any personality in the world.
Being the fourth largest metropolitan city in the United States and the largest city of Texas, Houston is subject to a mighty amount of traffic that affects its roadways. As one would suspect, these roadways are constantly deteriorating due to this severe usage, but this problem isn’t being addressed proportionately. The Houstonians need improvements made towards roadways now to decrease traffic, provide an environment that is more safe, and reduce the above average financial costs to operate their vehicles in Houston compared to other cities in the United States.

Abstract The potential positive effects that body-worn cameras could have between society and police officers would help ensure the publics’ faith in police officers performing their duties within the law. Public out-cry of excessive force used by police officers has created a need to provide transparency and hold police officers accountable for actions. The researcher will attempt to answer if body-worn cameras will have any effect on the amount of excessive force complaints. Research method will be of quantitative and qualitive methods by looking at research already conducted and with a survey to classmates.
“The New Mecca” is an essay in which author George Saunders engraves different experiences he had throughout his Dubai trip. In the beginning he tells the readers that everything they are going to assume about Dubai is going to be wrong unless they see Dubai by themselves first. He
Social Problem Police in any democratic society are faced with an inescapable dilemma. Their role requires them to adequately balance the legal authority they have been granted by the public (through government officials) with their responsibility to protect individual rights and to contribute to public safety. Police officers are a walking symbol of government authority. They have the power to stop, detain, question, arrest, and even use deadly force when necessary Police officers must be responsive to the wishes of the public. They must carry out the complex task while respecting important legal and constitutional protections.
Since everyone owns a vehicle that means a lot of traffic where ever you go. There are many roads, streets, and highways that are expanding because the flow of traffic is so heavy. Most of the streets are more than two lanes of traffic in each direction. You see many types of cars on the road from big semi-trucks to small two door Hondas. Even though we have public transportation Tampa is just a fast moving city with a lot of people in cars. London on the other hand is a very tight squeeze where ever you go. The cars are very small usually little fiats because the parking is so hard. No one has a drive or garage you parallel park on the side of the street. It’s so mind blowing how close you have to park to the other cars it’s almost impossible how no one hits each other. There are hardly any major highways because everyone there takes the subway, train, or they walk. The roads are so small and narrow that there isn’t any room for big semi-trucks. Everything there is delivered in larger cars or vans.
I am absolutely certain that everyone at one point in their life has passed by a littered beach, park or road. There are critical steps and guidelines that must be taken in order to Adopt-a-Highway, such as applying for the program, learning the rules, using the correct equipment and taking the necessary precautions.
Highway 12/18 is a major highway that passes through the town. Nonetheless, there are several other streets and side roads in the community. Majority of these streets, and roads, besides, highway 12/18 passing through town, are worked on constantly to keep them decent for driving. However, the side roads and street often needs repair, principally, those that are in the older neighborhoods, nonetheless, those that in the newer neighborhoods are in better condition. Just like the roads, and streets, is the same with the streetlights. There are also handicap accessible sidewalks, parking spaces in both public and business locations. Additionally, there are several bridges around the community that connects streets and over path. Be it for walking or crossing. The sidewalks, bike lanes, walk paths and bike paths are for the most part in decent condition.
The CalTrans Traffic Manual (11-96) defines a clear area as an area clear of fixed objects adjacent to the roadway is desirable to provide a recovery zone for vehicles that have left the traveled way. Since on very high speed highways a clear width of 9m will permit 80% of the vehicles leaving the highway to recover, it is, therefore considered the minimum clear recovery area for freeways and high-speed expressways. In this context, high-speed vehicle is a vehicle with more than 70km. For the normal highways 9m is not a practical distance hence it is reduced to 6m. Besides this, the other factors to consider are adjacent development, side slope, as traffic volume, weather, environmental factors and speed.
Driving a Lexus provides a visual appeal for those of your surroundings while also exemplifying and portrays the sophistication and luxury of the driver. Lexus, a luxury division of Toyota which is known for its making of luxury cars, was founded in 1989 by Eiji Toyada, the CEO of Toyota in the 1970s. Lexus provides many different model along with an impressive list of “safety features” while providing an authentic and visually appealing design. While in reality, these safety features come with problematic parts which may or may not endanger yourself or those around you. There are many aspects in this ad that contradicts the hidden goal of the corporate and falsely advertise to appeal to their buyers.
Advertisements are a huge part of our everyday lives. We see different types of ads everywhere we look; while watching television, listening to the radio, riding on the bus and even walking around your school campus. It seems like the whole world is being flooded by advertisements.
Have you ever taken a picture or been looking through a photo album and felt a sudden rush of emotion? Do you wonder what caused that emotion? Many find themselves captivated by a photograph and overwhelmed by the emotions that the photograph arouses. Believe it or not the arousal of emotion from those photographs was not caused by the content of the picture but by certain elements within the photograph. When a photograph is viewed it is not only the subject that triggers the overwhelming emotional response, it is the length of time that the film was exposed to sunlight, the way lighting is used and played with, and the strong detail of colors or lack thereof. While many believe that the subject acts as the primary stimuli to emotions, the
