WHAT DOES EMERGENCY TELEPHONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Emergency telephone

An emergency telephone is a phone specifically provided for making calls to emergency services and is most often found in a place of special danger or where it is likely that there will only be a need to make emergency calls. Emergency telephones are commonly found alongside major roads and on university campuses throughout the world. In the United Kingdom, orange "SOS" call boxes are spaced at 1 mile intervals on all motorways as well as some major "A" roads, with roadside markers indicating the nearer phone. Emergency telephones were installed at.25 miles intervals on all limited-access highways throughout Southern California in the United States as far back as the 1970s. On Italian "Autostrade", "SOS" emergency phones, generally coloured in yellow, are found spaced at 2 kilometres intervals. Emergency phones can also be found at the ends of bridges or near cliffs which have a history of suicides. These are generally routed directly to appropriate support agencies such as The Samaritans in the UK. They are also occasionally found along the coastline where members of the public may wish to report swimmers or boats in danger at sea.
