I don't have a paved parking lot and alleyway with multiple entrances and exits on my property.

It's cheating is what it is.

You're not supposed to go behind the businesses. I think you can turn in and go around the front of the businesses and then loop around and exit where you wanted. I read the signs to mean you can't just take a straight shot behind them.

Regarding the Lena Cain exit, yes, I think there should be a light. Traffic coming over that hill makes exiting Lena Cain northbound a bit dicey.

But I think they need to start stacking lights so if you catch one, that's all you'll catch. Easy enough with a fixed speed limit for the whole of CLR.

I guess I'll just watch this video and dream...

My real problem with growth is we're always following with infrastructure instead of getting ahead of it. The County Line exchange with 565 has been needed for years, and now that we finally have it, it's going to get absolutely destroyed by all the Toyota-Mazda traffic. It's going to be an absolute nightmare because we prepared for the traffic that is, not the traffic that will be.

Roundabouts are amazing, if they are constructed with a large enough diameter. The one behind Providence is way too small, so you basically have to treat it like a 4-way stop anyways. Cities in the US constructing roundabouts really should look at the size of them in Europe. The UAE also had extremely nice ones where traffic flowed quite efficiently.

The CLR exit at 565 is going to be a nightmare with the current design. It is going next to impossible for those exiting from 565 West who want to turn N on CLR to get over with more traffic exiting from 565 E. Such a stupid exit design...

Yes, the design is rather strange. And it's not like there wasn't plenty of room to make it correctly.

Traffic circles are great. You don't have to worry about getting tickets for "rolling stops", traffic flows much better, and there's room in the center to build something attractive.

if aldot can do it cheap and inefficient in the Huntsville area they will
Martin road overpass =stupid
merge lanes from Moores Mill to US -72, east and west = stupid

For everyone that needs their mall food court pizza fix, apparently the Sbarro in the new shopping center north of Bruster's is now open.

What's the over-under on how long they'll be open?

I remember back in the past when a Sbarro slice was pretty good. I haven't had one in probably 10 years.

Me either...I'm half tempted to grab a slice for research purposes. I'll go in w/ pretty low expectations though.
