'''Moderate Liberal Party''' ({{lang-no|Moderate Venstre}}) was a [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[political party]] that was demerged from the [[Liberal Party of Norway|Liberal Party]] in 1888, consisting mainly of the Low Church. The party became the third Norwegian parliamentary party. Important issues included [[Temperance movement|temperance]], [[religion]] and [[moral]], as such the party is sometimes considered the predecessor of the [[Christian Democratic Party (Norway)|Christian Democrats]]. When the party chairman [[Lars Oftedal]] entered cooperation with the [[Conservative Party of Norway|Conservatives]], part of the party returned to the Liberals, turning the Moderate Liberals even more into a [[landowner]]s party. But unlike the Conservatives, the Moderate Liberals were in favour of increased [[home rule]] and eventually [[independence]]. When the Conservatives changed opinion of the [[Dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden in 1905|union]] and the [[Union Party (Norway)|Union Party]] was founded, Moderate Liberals joind this. In 1906 the Moderate Liberal Party became part of Høyre. The remaining Liberal Party was often referred to as the Broad-Minded Liberal Party while the moderates were in existence.

The planning network of the Macau Light Transit System

The Macau Light Transit System is a proposed mass transit system for the former Portuguese colony of Macau (now Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China). The LRT will serve the Macau Peninsula, Taipa island, Cotai reclamation area and Macau International Airport.

History

The Macau LRT was first proposed in 2003, but final go ahead was not given until a public announcement by the Government of Macau was made in October 2006. The line will provide better transportation options between the mainland portion of Macau with Cotai and Taipa and release pressure on the roads and bridges to the islands. It will be Macau's first rapid transit line. (Note: The LRT network image shown is outdated. The latest information can be obtained at http://www.git.gov.mo)

Technical Specifications

The proposed LRT system will be driverless and utilize a rubber-tyred system, similar to the Singapore Light Rapid Transit. The Phase I line will run along elevated guideways, ensuring a dedicated right-of-way separated from road traffic.
