This week traffic has been awful. Just bad bad bad.
Monday- Wreck on the drive home
Tuesday- Wreck on the way to work
Wednesday- 2 Wrecks on the way to work- I swear.
Thursday- Wreck on the way to work
Friday- No wreck but fog which I guess means it should take me about 50 mins to make it in. grrrr
But! Yes a but!! Wednesday the Sheriff was observing my 4 way stop by our apartment.
It has always been bad, people driving on the shoulder and stuff. We got a signal light at the freeway which helped alot, but they left this 4 way just a couple hundred feet away. Big mistake. And with the grand opening of our gas station at the corner of the 4 way, it has been mayhem. People going loco and cutting through the parking lot, driving on the shoulder, not waiting their turn. Loony.
So yesterday the Sheriff was directing traffic!! I think we did need a lesson in how to operate at a 4 way stop, like the weeks after Ike weren't practice enough? Did I see any shoulder driving? Nope. Did I see any cutting through the gas station parking lot? No. AND did I spend 15 minutes stopped at this 4 way? NO!
So why can't we get a signal here please? I am begging. Or just have the Sheriff direct traffic every day.

I hear you - I've come to believe that only peeps who grew up in rural America know how to operate a four-way stop. We have a very odd two-way stop by our apartment that should be a four-way, and people always get so confused at it. It's irritating - I concur.
