The only tough turn is left onto Green Level West. In high traffic times just hit the light on 55 at the other end.

No, I mean coming from and to HH. I know they are upgrading the intersection, hopefully that helps.

What's difficult about it? Coming from High House you have a dedicated left into the plaza off Green Level West, or you can take a left on 55 and use one of the three(?) entrances on the right.

Coming out, either take a left at the light onto 55 then HH, or take a right on Green Level West and cross over to HH.

You're right. That whole intersection is awesome. They should just cancel all the improvements right now.

Sorry you lost me. You were saying it's hard getting in and out of High House Crossing, and I disagree.

Yes the 55/GLW/High House intersection can get busy during rush hour, but they're making improvements.

We're so spoiled here.

To get to the HT from High House, I need to cross the 55 intersection. Sometimes takes 2-3 cycles and they are long cycles. In that time I can go to 7 different grocery stores by driving in the opposite direction.

The traffic mess for entrance/exit at that whole corner was the downfall for the Kroger that was there.
This was way before Kroger bought H-T.

This pretty much explains why we have what people call grocery store saturation here. I'm not crossing 55 to go to that HT when I have one on this side of 55 (although a lot of people from my 'hood and neighboring ones who've been going there for 20 years never made the switch). It's also why I don't go to Publix that often. I don't feel like crossing Davis Drive.

Supermarket placement takes these feelings into consideration.

I know it's all about what you're used to, but it's crazy to hear people complain about having to wait at a light for 5 minutes to get to one of four supermarkets that are probably within a few miles of their house. God forbid you have to cross Davis Drive or 55 and wait for more than one light cycle

I'm not saying it's wrong, but it makes me really really really glad that I moved here.

Yes, it took the recent trip back to NY to set my mind straight again. But I wasn't specifically referencing this area - there's a method to supermarket placement madness (I guess true for any store). But even so I'm driving past HT to get to Publix.

Traffic in NY was UN.REAL. Seriously mind boggling. Was it ever that bad when I lived there? Don't even want to think about it.
