Iyini imithetho ye-auto pool e-Iowa?

I-Iowa ingase ibe yizwe elincane, kodwa isenayo imigwaqo eminingi ebalulekile nemithetho yomgwaqo. Futhi enye yezingxenye ezibaluleke kakhulu zemigwaqo eminingi yase-Iowa imigwaqo yokupaka, eyenza ukushayela kube lula kubantu abaningi base-Iowa nsuku zonke.

Ungakwazi ukushayela kuphela emigwaqweni ye-pool pool uma unabagibeli abaningi emotweni yakho. Izimoto ezinomshayeli kuphela noma ezinabagibeli abambalwa kunesilinganiso esincane salowo mzila azivunyelwe emzileni we-pool pool noma zizokhokhiswa ithikithi elibizayo. Ngenxa yokuthi bambalwa abashayeli emgwaqeni kunabashayeli abahamba ngabodwana, umgwaqo we-pool pool uhlangabezana nokuhamba kwezimoto okuncane kakhulu kunomzila ojwayelekile, futhi imizila ye-pool pool ingakwazi ukugcina isivinini esiphezulu kuthelawayeka ngisho nangezikhathi zokugijima. Le mizila iphinde ikhuthaze abantu abaningi ukuba bashayele baye emsebenzini (noma kwezinye izindawo), isiza ekwehliseni isibalo sezimoto emigwaqweni yase-Iowa. Izimoto ezimbalwa emigwaqeni zisho ukugcwala kwabantu okuncane kuwo wonke umuntu, ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni encane, kanye nokulimala komgwaqo okuncane (ngakho-ke imali yentela yokulungisa imigwaqo incane ephuma emaphaketheni e-Iowa).

Abashayeli bangonga isikhathi esiningi nemali ngokusebenzisa imizila yemikhumbi yase-Iowa, kodwa kuphela uma belandela imithetho yomgwaqo. Imithetho yethrafikhi iyahlukahluka kuye ngokuthi ukusiphi isimo, ngakho-ke kuwumqondo omuhle ukuzijwayeza nemithetho ye-Iowa. Ngenhlanhla, zilula futhi zicacile.

Ikuphi imizila yokupaka izimoto?

Izindlela zokupaka azivamile e-Iowa njengoba zikhona ezifundeni eziningi, kodwa ziselula ukuzithola. Ungawathola emigwaqweni eminingi emikhulu nasemigwaqweni esheshayo e-Iowa. Umzila wokupaka uzohlala usendaweni ekude kwesokunxele kuthelawayeka, eduze kwesithiyo noma ithrafikhi ezayo. Lapho umgwaqo uqhubeka kuthelawayeka, umzila wemikhumbi uvame ukuhlukaniswa nawo wonke uthelawayeka, kodwa uma kungenjalo uhlala uxhumene nemizila emikhulu. Kwesinye isikhathi kuzoba nezindawo zokuphuma zemigwaqo ephuma ngqo kulayini wokupaka izimoto, kodwa ezimweni eziningi kuyodingeka ukuthi ushintshe ungene emzileni okude kwesokudla ukuze wehle kuthelawayeka.

Imigqa yedamu lezimoto imakwe ngezimpawu zomgwaqo onguthelawayeka kwesokunxele somzila noma ngaphezu komzila. Lezi zimpawu zizobonisa ukuthi lena indawo yokupaka izimoto noma umzila wemoto osezingeni eliphezulu, noma izomane ibe wuphawu lwedayimane. Uphawu lwedayimane nalo luzodwetshwa ngqo emzileni wokupaka izimoto.

Yimiphi imithetho eyisisekelo yomgwaqo?

Imithetho yethrafikhi iyahluka kakhulu kuye ngokuthi ushayela kumuphi uthelawayeka e-Iowa. Kweminye imigwaqo ewuthelawayeka, kufanele okungenani ube nabagibeli ababili ukuze udlule umzila we-pool yezimoto. Kweminye imigwaqo emikhulu udinga okungenani abagibeli abathathu, kanti kweminye udinga okungenani abane. Njengoba inani elincane labagibeli lihluka ngomgwaqo, qiniseka ukuthi unaka izimpawu zomzila njengoba zizokutshela ukuthi bangaki abantu okudingeka ube nabo emotweni ukuze ufaneleke. Nakuba i-Iowa yengeze imizila ye-pool pool yezimoto ukukhuthaza abasebenza nabo ukuthi babelane ngezimoto, ayikho imingcele yokuthi ubani ongabhekwa njengomgibeli we-car pool lane. Uma uhamba nezingane zakho, ngokusemthethweni ungase ube semgqeni wokupaka izimoto inqobo nje uma imoto yakho inenani elincane labagibeli.

Imizila eminingi yemikhumbi e-Iowa isebenza kuphela ngamahora aphakeme kakhulu. Kwesinye isikhathi kuba yihora lesine ekuseni nantambama, kodwa imizila eminingi yokupaka izimoto ivulwa ekuseni kuphela, kusukela ngo-6 ekuseni kuya ku-9 ekuseni. Ngesikhathi sokuphumula, le mizila iba isandiso sikathelawayeka futhi ingasetshenziswa yinoma ubani. Imizila eminingana yokupaka e-Iowa iyasebenza amahora angu-24 ngosuku, izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngesonto, ngakho qiniseka ukuthi ufunda izimpawu zomzila wokupaka ukuze uthole ukuthi umzila okuwo uvuliwe nini.

Eminye imizila yemikhumbi yase-Iowa inezindawo ezikhethiwe ongangena noma uphume kuzo. Ngokukhawulela izindawo lapho abantu bengangena noma baphume khona emzileni, umzila we-pool pool ungagcina isivinini esiphezulu. Uma umzila wokupaka izimoto uhlukaniswa nomzila oseduze ngemigqa emibili eqinile, awukwazi ukungena noma ukuphuma emzileni. Uma ulayini usuthikhiwe, ungangena noma uphume noma kunini.

Yiziphi izimoto ezivunyelwe emzileni wokupaka izimoto?

Ngaphezu kwezimoto ezithwala inani elincane labagibeli, izithuthuthu nazo zivunyelwe emzileni we-pool pool ngisho noma zithwala umgibeli oyedwa kuphela. Ngenxa yokuthi izithuthuthu zincane futhi ziyakwazi ukuhamba ngesivinini esiphezulu emigwaqweni yezimoto, aziwunciphisi umzila, futhi ziphephe kakhudlwana emzileni kunasezindaweni zokuma nokuhamba.

Izimoto ezingakwazi ukuhamba ngokuphepha noma ngokusemthethweni ngesivinini esiphezulu kuthelawayeka azivunyelwe emzileni we-car pool, ngisho noma zithwele inani elincane labagibeli. Izibonelo zalezi zinhlobo zezimoto zifaka izithuthuthu ezinama-trailer, ama-semi-trailer, izimoto ezingekho emgwaqeni, namaloli adonsa izinto ezinkulu.

Ngokungafani nezinye izifundazwe, i-Iowa ayivumeli ezinye izimoto zikaphethiloli ukuthi zishayele emzileni wokupaka izimoto ezinomgibeli oyedwa. Izifundazwe eziningi manje zivumela ezinye izimoto zikaphethiloli (njengezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi kanye ne-hybrid-electric) ukuthi zishayele emzileni wemikhumbi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zinabagibeli abangaki. Njengoba lokhu sekuduma kakhulu, i-Iowa ingase isebenzise lo mthetho maduzane, ngakho qiniseka ukuthi uyaqiniseka ukuthi unenye imoto kaphethiloli.

Izimoto eziphuthumayo namabhasi edolobha akhululekile emithethweni yomgwaqo.

Yiziphi izijeziso zokuphulwa komzila?

Uma udonswa ukushayela endaweni yokupaka izimoto enabagibeli abambalwa kunenani eliphansi elidingekayo, uzothola inhlawulo enkulu. Intengo yethikithi iyahlukahluka ngokwesifunda nomgwaqo omkhulu, kodwa ngokuvamile iphakathi kuka-$100 no-$250. Izaphulamthetho eziphindayo zizokhokhiswa inhlawulo ephakeme kanye nokumiswa kwelayisensi okungenzeka.

Ukuhlanganisa ngokungemthetho noma ukushiya ulayini we-pool yezimoto ngokweqa imigqa eqinile ekabili kuzophumela ephuzwini elijwayelekile lethikithi lokwephulwa komzila. Abashayeli abazama ukukhohlisa amaphoyisa noma amaphoyisa omgwaqo ngokubeka i-dummy, dummy noma i-cutout esihlalweni somgibeli bazohlawuliswa inhlawulo enkulu futhi mhlawumbe nesikhathi sejele.

Ukushayela emzileni we-pool pool kungakongela isikhathi esiningi nemali, kanye nokucasuka nokucindezeleka kokuhlala esiminyaminya. Uma wazi yonke imithetho, ungaqala ukusebenzisa imizila yokupaka izimoto yase-Iowa khona lapho.
