Linda
: Not too bad. Why do you ask about the traffic?
Richard
: You know, I went to the village 3 years ago. There was a lot of traffic in Chase Village. People 
drove too fast. I had a very serious accident on Newland Street. I was afraid to drive there, so I always 
try to avoid that road when I visit my sister.
Linda
: Things are changing now. You know, people put on their brakes and slow down on Newland 
Street because they can see a police car there with a police officer in it.
Richard
: Oh, it's good to have a policeman there because there were many accidents that happened on 
that road. But the police officer wouldn't be there all the time so some people wouldn't be too careful 
about the police. Sometimes they just look a risk.
Linda
: You know, the police officer has been working on that road 24 hours a day seven days a week for 
about two and a half years now.
Richard
: Oh, how can a policeman do this without any break?
Linda
: No break at all.
Richard
: How much does he get paid for the overt time work?
Linda
: In fact he doesn't get any pay at all.
Richard
: What is his name? He must be a volunteer there but I can't believe it.
