Here in our city we see street lights but are not lightened. we see squares but does not have place for people to visit each other there. we have roads but are standard. we have roundabouts but if the traffic not there for just for five minutes, you have to wait hours and hours then. :-)
I can see roads, traffic lights, street lights, crossings, bus stops, and a crossing road near my house. There aren't signposts, though.
roundabout or roundabouts
Hello juliojacoob,
When talking about road infrastructure the correct word is 'roundabout'.

Hello, dear teachers and team!
Could you please help me with the following:
If it takes me one hour to get to a certain neighbourhood and the same amount of time to get from that neighbourhood, could I say:
"It is one hour in one direction, and one hour - in the other direction. "
Does that sound correct and natural? Or has it to be another?
Thank you so much for your constant help and I'm very grateful for answering to this post beforehand!
Hello howtosay_,
I'd probably say 'It's one hour each way' or 'It's one hour there and one hour back', but what you said is also quite clear.
If I wanted to be very clear, I'd say 'It's one hour there and one hour back -- two hours round trip'.
All the best,
Kirk
