Our wonderfully regressive PENNDOT has decided that the way to solve the traffic problems on Rt. 222 north of Reading is by installing two circles at two major intersections. Idiots.

Or those that find a need for it can bookmark it.

What doesn't everybody like about circles/roundabouts? Plenty of studies show that they do what they were meant to do, keep you from having to wait at lights, and they ease congestion.

"having 40% fewer vehicle collisions, 80% fewer injuries and 90% fewer serious injuries and fatalities (according to a study of a sampling of roundabouts in the United States, when compared with the junctions they replaced)"

Bunch of old fuddy duddys.

You've never been in the traffic circle up in North Cambridge, MA, where Rte. 2 comes down from limited access to city street and intersects immediately with Alewife Brook Parkway. It was sooooo bad that the state decided to get rid of it and put in some modern stop lights.

I'm sure that there are exceptions, but most of them work as advertised.

Yeah,
There's one in Clark like what you described.
I've been doing circles all my life and
that one's the worst I've ever seen
WOT A PItA!

I DO have it bookmarked

I was merely being considerate of others.

ANYWAY

The neatest thing I've discovered in that 511
link is Their "CAMERAS" Option

Select The Type of Highway
(The most dangerous stretch is Interstate 80)
SO I select "Interstates" and 80 pops up,
then I FLICK to which Highway Intersection I
want to SEE along the route and BADA~BING!

It's EASY, Nana !!

North is always UP,
South is always DOWN,
West is always to your LEFT
and East is always to your RIGHT

remember that when you're driving and you'll be fine !

Your directions are interesting, Dave, and brought up another one to me just now. Another place to go, or to have visited, from my home town of Millville, S Joisey, was "down below."

The farther south you went, or "below" our city, the closer you got to smaller towns, usually fishing, clamming, crabbing, oystering, etc. related communities. They had less money and the things of comfort that more northern cities had because of the jobs held by northern people in factories, etc.

My memory is not clear on just which cities a person referred to when he went down below. Just thought that was interesting.

My father spent a lot of time "going down the road a piece." That's what he always told us kids.
