天黑时为我们照亮的路灯，过马路时帮我们拦阻车流的红绿灯，还有我们手中废弃物的落脚地——垃圾桶，这些都是我们再熟悉不过的道路基础设施。可是，你知道它们的统称是什么吗？对，就是street furniture。

Street furniture is a collective term for objects and pieces of equipment installed on streets and roads for various purposes, including traffic barrier, benches, post boxes, phone boxes, streetlamps, traffic lights, traffic signs, bus stops and waste receptacles.

Street furniture（城市街具/街道家具）是街道上的各种功能设施的总称，包括交通路障、凳子、邮筒、电话亭、路灯、交通信号灯、交通标志、公交车站及垃圾箱等。

Street furniture itself has become as much a part of many nations' identities as dialects and national events, so much so that one can usually recognise the location by their design.

与方言和国家活动一样，“城市街具”已成为很多国家标志的一部分，人们根据街具的设计很容易辨认出其所在地。
