side street

postranní ulice

I go down this side street where there ain't so many big shops. BNC

If you're looking for a comfortable apartment or studios in a quiet side street, yet in the centre of town with its host of bars and cafés, and only two minutes from the beach, then look no further. BNC

In a side street a vegetable seller, squatting in the shade of a wall, offered fresh produce. BNC

traffic lane

jízdní pruh

However I do like the stencil marked across the edge line to indicate that cyclists may ride in the car parking lane where there are no parked cars and that cyclists may ride in the traffic lane where there are parked cars. WebC

 As a consequence, stopping (without cause) in the traffic lane is likely to occur at intersections or other decision points. WebC

While, as stated above, a cyclist may use a full traffic lane when the lane is too narrow to share with a motor vehicle, a cyclist may also ride in the stream of traffic when going as fast as motor vehicles. WebC

sleeping bag

spací pytel

While most bags have stuff sacks very few can be considered waterproof, so always pack your sleeping bag in its stuff sack inside a separate plastic bag. BNC

Note: Bed linen is not provided so please bring a sleeping bag and towels with you. BNC

If camping overnight you'll need still more space in which to carry tent, sleeping bag and mat and cooking equipment, and for longer periods you'll need extra clothes as well. BNC

set forth

vyrazit, vydat se na cestu

Elizabeth Mowbray, accompanied by her daughter and a large entourage, set forth from Framlingham a few weeks later. BNC

He set forth at once for Northampton with a mere three hundred men, leaving Sir Richard Ratcliffe, his knight of the body, at York to raise more troops and follow him south with the reinforcements. BNC

road board

správa silnic

The road board insisted that the funds could only be used for roads and warned that the revenues would be lost completely if the new council tampered with it. WebC

The road board received a $6 million loan from the Community Impact Board and hired the engineering firm of Creamer & Noble to start the engineering work. WebC

This resulted in the formation of the first road board to carry out repairs on the Heart's Content Road. WebC

road junction

dopravní uzel, křižovatka

We were approaching a big road junction where there was a controlled Pedestrian crossing. BNC

This is a pleasant town and a major road junction, for it is here that the road forks up to the pass of Encumeada across the centre of the island; and the way we will return. BNC

At the road junction turn right to Roslin Farm and walk between the farm buildings. BNC

traffic restraint

dopravní omezení

Speeds would have to be lowered, parking controlled and traffic restraint measures introduced. BNC

For these smaller cities, less expensive and more modestly scaled public transport and traffic restraint policies are more appropriate. BNC

As far as costs are concerned , it is envisaged that traffic restraint strategies will finally be applied to all town quarters , not just to a selected elite. WASPS

flight crew

posádka letadla

This enables all personnel, from flight crew to the man who sweeps the hangar, to appreciate that they all have their contribution to make to the safety of the company's aircraft. BNC

The result of the CAFU experiment was that the cockpit conversation between the flight crew when they were not using the intercom was crystal clear. BNC

The CVR allows the investigator to know what the members of the flight crew were saying to each other, and to some extent what they were thinking, at relevant times during the flight. BNC

Can you drop the kids off at school this morning? MED

Marc had dropped her off at her flat in the early hours with little more being said between them. BNC

estate car

automobil kombi, polodávka

In a van, estate car or large hatchback it's okay, but it's too big to get into even a large saloon without a lot of hassle. BNC

We're claiming it to be the fastest estate car in the world, the most exclusive and the most expensive. BNC

Sue normally drives an estate car but found plenty of room in the Volvo 460; just as well with all three children home for half-term. BNC

single ticket

jednoduchá jízdenka

Marked single ticket entitles to ride one transport vehicle in one route direction until the final stop of the route. WebC

A single ticket is valid for one journey and can be used on the Metro, RER, Bus and Tram within Paris and its immediate suburbs. WebC

At Victoria follow the signs to the coach station (ten minute walk) and buy a single ticket to Chelmsford (£8.50). WebC

season ticket

předplatní/časová jízdenka

The cost of an annual season ticket between Cambridge and London, rises from two thousand three hundred and forty to two thousand five hundred and twenty eight pounds. BNC

 I used to travel by bus a lot, so I had a season ticket. BNC

patrol car

hlídkový/policejní vůz

 A patrol car spots us and its occupants make it clear we are under observation. BNC

 Chapman drove at 50 to 60mph before he was stopped by a police patrol car. BNC

New York is the only big city in America whose police still insist on two officers in every patrol car. BNC
