Sample Answer

The given two maps illustrate the road network around a City Hospital in 2007 and in 2010.

Overall, it is noticeable that the road access to the city hospital had been upgraded in 2010 with the addition of a bus station, two roundabouts and a separate public car park.

In 2007, the hospital road, which had three bus stops on the either side, was connected to the city road and to the ring road. Furthermore, a common car park was located on the east side of the hospital road, and it served both public and staff members. In 2010, some significant changes could be seen. Firstly, the common car park was assigned exclusively for the hospital staff, while a novel public car park was established on the east side of the hospital. Secondly, two roundabouts had been constructed at both ends of the hospital road; one at the intersection with the ring road and other at the city road junction. Finally, the three bus stops on either side had been removed, and a new bus station was constructed on the west side of the hospital road with connections to the both newly built roundabouts.
