2 | Citizens risk their lives to cross roads at Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue in the capital, just yards away there is a crosswalk on the other side. | Manao vy very ny ainy ireo olom-pirenena miampita ny Avenue Kazi Nazrul Islam ao an-drenivohitra, tsy lavitra eo anefa dia efa misy toerana fiampitàna natao ho an'ny mpandeha an-tongotra. |

5 | Bangladesh police completed a three-day campaign in late November to stop pedestrians from crossing busy roads without using footbridges or underpasses. | Tamin'ny Novambra lasa teo, nahavita fanentanana naharitra telo andro ny polisy tao Bangladesh mba hanatsaharana ny fiampitàn'ireo mpandeha an-tongotra eny amin'ireo arabe be fifamoivoizana, nefa tsy any anaty faritra natao ho azy (fiampitàna arabe, na mandeha ao ambanin'ny arabe). |
6 | The authorities have also established mobile courts to punish the hundreds of pedestrians who jaywalk with fines and sometimes even imprisonment. | Nametraka tribonaly mandehandeha ihany koa ny manampahefana mba hanafay amin'ny alàlan'ny lamandy sy mety ho tonga hatramin'ny fampidirana am-ponja ireo mpandeha an-tongotra anjatony izay miampita fahatàny. |
7 | According to police, this is an awareness campaign. | Araka ny lazain'ny polisy, dia fanentanana ho fampahatsiarovantena io. |
8 | People in Bangladesh often cross busy roads by stepping into traffic, stopping oncoming vehicles with a wave of the hand, rather than using the footbridges built for pedestrians. | Matetika ny olona ao Bangladesh no miampita amin'ireo arabe be mpifamoivoy ka mitsofotsofoka eny anelanelan'ny fiara eny, manohana ireo fiara mandeha amin'ny alàlan'ny fanofahofany tànana fotsiny, raha tokony hampiasa ireo toerana natao hiampitàny, napetraka ho an'ny mpandeha an-tongotra. |
9 | The behavior is both a public safety hazard and a problem for managing traffic. | Sady loza mitatao ho an'ny daholobe ilay fitondrantena no olana ho an'ny fandrindràna ny fifamoivoizana ihany koa. |
10 | The crackdown on jaywalking is not without its critics. | Tsy zavatra mandeha ho azy ny famaizana ny fiampitàna fahatàny. |
11 | Commenting on a news story online, one Internet user says the pedestrian bridges are far from accommodating: | Ao amin'ny fanehoankeviny momba ny tantaram-baovao iray ety anaty serasera, milaza ny olona iray mpampiasa aterinto fa tsy maharaka ireo tetezana kely natao ho an'ny mpandeha an-tongotra: |
12 | It is so cumbersome to walk up these foot over-bridges. | Faran'izay manelingelina be ny handeha hiakatra amin'ireny tetezana ireny. |
13 | Even healthy people get tired crossing these things. | Na dia ireo olona salama tsara aza dia reraka ihany miampita amin'ireny zavatra ireny. |
14 | The underpasses also have too many stairs (and no escalators). | Maro zanatohatra loatra koa ireo fiampitàna ambanin'ny tany (ary tsy misy tohatra ahodi-milina). |
15 | Before imposing fines, these walkways should be improved. | Alohan'ny hametrahana sazy ara-bola, tokony hohatsaraina kokoa ny faritra ho an'ny mpandeha an-tongotra. |
16 | These overpasses/underpasses are often crowded by beggars, hawkers, and teasers, and are covered with dirt, posters, darkness, and bad smells. | Ireny fiampitàna ambony/ambanin'ny tany ireny dia mazàna no feno mpangataka, mpivarotra mandehandeha, sy ireo mpanao doka, ary rakotra vovoka, afisy, haizina, ary fofona ratsy. |
17 | So proper maintenance of these installations is a must. | Tena tsy maintsy atao ny fikarakarana araka ny tokony ho izy ireny fotodrafitrasa ireny. |
18 | They should get closed-circuit TV monitoring to stop vandals. | Tokony hasian-dry zareo fanaraha-maso tsy mitsahatra amin'ny alàlan'ny TV mba hampitsaharana ny fanimbàna/fandrobàna. |
19 | The use of escalators and lifts in some places is also essential. | Tena ilaina ihany koa ny fampiasàna fanakadrihana sy tohatra ahodi-milina amin'ny toerana sasany. |
20 | Writing on Facebook, Journalist Probhash Amin says: | Nanoratra tao amin'ny Facebook, Probhash Amin, mpanao gazety ka niteny hoe : |
21 | You can encourage people to use overpasses and underpass, but you cannot force them. | Azonao atao ny mandrisika ny olona hampiasa ireo fiampitàna mihantona sy midina ambanin'ny tany ireo, saingy tsy azonao terena ry zareo. |
22 | The way police are now apprehending pedestrians en route to the office like criminals, handling them disrespectfully, is of course a violation of human rights. | Ankehitriny, ny fisamboran'ny polisy eny an-dàlana ireo mpandeha an-tongotra ary fitondràna azy ireny any amin'ny birao toy ny hoe olo-meloka, misintontsintona azy ireo tsy misy fanajàna, dia mazava loatra fa fanitsakitsahana ny zon'olombelona. |
23 | Blogger Kung Thang takes a more extreme position, saying the street should belong to pedestrians: | Naka fomba fijery somary masiatsiaka i Kung Thang, bilaogera, tamin'ny nitenenany hoe tokony ho an'ny mpandeha an-tongotra ny arabe : |
24 | The pedestrians are the rightful users of the street. | Ny mpandeha an-tongotra no mpampiasa manan-jo feno amin'ny arabe. |
25 | Vehicles are recent inventions. | Zavatra vao noforonina taty aoriana ny fiara. |
26 | They can use the streets, but not at the expense of denying the rights of the pedestrians to cross the street. | Afaka mampiasa ny arabe ry zareo saingy tsy amin'ny fandàvana ny zon'ny mpandeha an-tongotra hiampita ny arabe kosa. |
27 | Citizens risk their lives in traffic to cross the road at Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue in the capital Dhaka. | Tsara ny manamarika fa zara raha misy ny jiro fandrindràna fifamoivoizana natao ho an'ireo mpandeha an-tongotra amin'ireny fiampitàna ireny ao Bangladesh. |
28 | Image by Firoz Ahmed. Copyright Demotix (30/8/2012) | Rasel Parvez, bilaogera, miteny fa tsy mifanaraka amin'ny maha-olona nahita fianarana ny fihetsiky ny polisy : |
29 | It's worth noting that traffic lights for pedestrians at crosswalks are extremely rare in Bangladesh. | Hiampita ny arabe ireo mpandeha an-tongotra raha misy jiro mpandrindra eo; zavatra efa mahazatra izany any amin'ireo firenena mandroso. |
30 | Blogger Rasel Parvez says the police's actions are uncivilized: Pedestrians will cross the street if there are traffic lights; this is a common phenomenon in every civilized nation. | Ny fanomezana tombony ny fiara amin'ny fanilihana ny fandehanana an-tongotra ho any amin'ireo fiampitàna ambony na ambanin'ny tany; mandany fotoana izany ary an'ny olona tsy nahita fandrosoana. |
31 | Giving preference to cars by diverting foot traffic to cumbersome overpasses and underpasses; this is time-consuming and uncivilized. | Araka ny antontanisa avy amin'ny “Bangladesh Road and Transport Corporation” , fiara 185 isanandro no tonga manatevina laharana ireo efa eny amin'ny arabe tototra ao Dhaka. |
32 | According to the statistics from the Bangladesh Road and Transport Corporation, each day 185 cars are added to Dhaka's already overcrowded roads. | |
33 | Only about 2-5 percent of the city's population (about 210,000 people) is thought to own an automobile. | Manodidina ny 2-5 isanjato fotsiny amin'ny mponina ao an-toerana (ao amin'ny 210.000 eo) no heverina ho manana fiara. |
34 | Lawyer Syed Mahbubur Alam says giving traffic preference to such a small part of the city is illogical: | Syed Mahbubur Alam, mpisolovava, miteny fa tsy manaraka ny làlan-tsaina tokony harahana ny fanomezana tombony ny ampahany vitsy tahaka izany amin'ny resaka fifamoivoizana : |
35 | Approximately 95 percent people in Dhaka are pedestrians, cyclists, and public-transport users. | Eo ho eo amin'ny 95 isanjaton'ny mponina ao Dhaka no mpandeha an-tongotra, mpivoy bisikilety, na mpampiasa fiara fitaterana iombonana. |
36 | Most of these people walk in the streets. | Mandeha eny an-dalambe ny ankamaroan'ireny olona ireny. |
37 | It is not fair to ignore the plight of 95 percent for the comfort of just 2 percent. | Tsy rariny ny finiavana tsy hijery ny fitarainan'ny 95 isanjato mba ho fanomezana fahafahampo an'ireo 2 isanjato monja. |
38 | Blogger and leftwing activist Kallol Mustafa campaigns for “majority pedestrian rights over individual drivers' rights.” | Kallol Mustafa, bilaogera sady mpikatroka mafàna fo avy amin'ny elatra havia, manao fanentanana ho an'ny “zon'ireo maro an'isa mpandeha an-tongotra manoloana ny zon'ny tsirairay amin'ny mpamily.” |
39 | According to Facebook user Marufa Rahman, police have in some cases resorted to physical abuse, when arresting jaywalkers. | Araka ny ambaran'i Marufa Rahman, mpampiasa Facebook, tonga hatramin'ny fampiasàna herisetra ara-batana ny polisy amin'ny tranga sasany, rehefa misambotra ireo mpiampita eny rehetra eny. |
40 | In fact, Dhaka's roads are extremely dangerous for pedestrians. | Raha ny marina, faran'izay mampidi-doza ho an'ny mpandeha an-tongotra ny arabe ao Dhaka. |
41 | In 2014 alone, as many as 134 people were killed crossing the street, reports Bengali newspaper Prothom Alo. | Ho an'ny 2014 samirery, olona 134 no maty niampita arabe, hoy ny tatitry ny gazety Bengali, Prothom Alo. |
42 | In an editorial, the same paper recently argued, somewhat vaguely, that Bangladesh needs to take three steps to create safer traffic for both cars and pedestrians: (1) design a pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, (2) launch a campaign to education the public about the new infrastructure and traffic rules, and (3) implement sensible laws to stop violations. | Tao anatin'ny matoandahatsoratra iray, io gazety io ihany no niteny vao tsy ela akory izay, na dia somary nanjavozavo ihany aza, fa mila manao dingana telo hanaovana izay haha-azo antoka ny fifamoivoizana i Bangladesh, na izany ho an'ny fiara, na ho an'ny mpandeha an-tongotra: (1) mamorona fotodrafitrasa sahaza ny mpandeha an-tongotra, (2) manao fanentanana ho fanabeazana ny daholobe mikasika ny fotodrafitrasa vaovao sy ny fitsipiky ny fifamoivoizana, ary (3) mametraka lalàna hentitra hampitsaharana ny fandikàn-dalàna. |
