【推荐3】We can see some overhead bridge (天桥）in Yueyang city. There is one near the No. 1 People’s Hospital. Another is in front of the Bus Station. As we all know, it is not safe to cross a busy road. These bridges can help people cross the roads safely. Overhead bridges have the same use as street crossings.

Many people think it great trouble to go through overhead bridges. The old and the young think it’s difficult for them to climb up and down the steps of the overhead bridges. But why does the government build so many overhead bridges? That’s because old people and young children walk slowly. And when they cross a busy road using a street crossing, the traffic will be held up or maybe stopped, or even a traffic accident may happen. With the help of the overhead bridges, people and the traffic can move at the same time. A lot of money has been spent building these overhead bridges. People, the old or the young should always use them. This can help stop traffic accidents from happening.
