City Planners did some lines before drawing the lines
Friday, November 6th, 2009Do road designers even have driver licenses?
I know that many people are just crappy drivers but this is compounded by some roads that are piss poorly disigned. I often say that city planners must have ‘done some lines, before drawing the lines’. For example, a cement median wide enough to build a two-car garage on, stretches for a half a kilometer between the traffic going in opposite directions – then the left hand turn lane is only long enough for five cars! Okay, maybe the green arrow light cycle is only long enough for five poky cars but left hopeful cars can even get into the lane until long after the arrow is gone – then the left turning people back up the straight going. Hello! Why didn’t you use more of the redundant median space to facilitate the heavy flow of left-turning vehicles?
Does a contributor to the mayor’s campaign fund own a curbing company? Is the policy for hiring city planners ‘nepotism first and qualifications later’? (The city might consider installing a drug testing program, but the city planning staff may to stoned to manage pissing into bottles).

Random drug testing might be the answer to solve many problems. However, the drug testing should start at the political level. Have the politicians piss into the bottles first. Maybe then the problems will be cured without having to drug test anyone else.
