When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Road design / construction / building (see bellow)

If the Persian term refers to the process of planning roads through drawing maps and geometrical engineering and considering "environmental issues, planning issues and juridical issues" the following technocal term is used: "(geometrical) road design"

If the Persian term refers to the whole process of constructing _which involves design, removal of earth and rock, deforestation, pavement (subgrade preparation or compaction, gravelling, asphalting), surface marking, and planting cat's eyes and traffic signs_ the technical term "Road Construction" is used. "Road building" is also used in this sense but generally it seldom appears in a technical context.

When the road includes sidewalks, "street planning" is used in the first sense and "street construction" in the second.
