We have some of the highest growth in the nation here. Over the last 3-4 years traffic has gotten insane here. Can't tell any difference since gas prices went up. Maybe even worse. On the interstate, 40 miles between the two nearest cities, traffic comes to a stop frequently for no apparent reason. Just heavy traffic. Not even in "rush hour". The state highway that parallels the interstate, which we usually take because the interstate traffic is so bad, is now useless because they condemned a bridge. No plans to fix it even though it is on a state highway!!! Just pushed up big mounds of dirt to block it on both ends.
Is there an undeveloped right of way where they showed a road? Folks around here subdivide into 5-acre lots(minimum for the agg exemption and donate the right of ways to the county So they dont get taxed on it. And, continue farming it.
I was successful doing that several years ago. Google thought my "Y" shaped driveway was a county road and people were using it as a place to turn around to get back to the highway.
sue the gps company.
My sister and BIL are having problems at their camp; posted limit is 25, people routinely do 45-50 on a narrow camp road which they have to cross to get to the water. It's a dead end road, but a lot of houses up beyond the pond.The selectmen won't do anything, nor will they allow him to put in speed bumps. It seems to be one of those deals where they will wait until somebody gets hurt of killed, then maybe act.
Pitch large rocks into the road by large I mean 8 - 10 inches diameter. Pitch 'em all over the place in a random pattern. The locals will drive around 'em the tourists will be horrified and turn around.
Good way to go to jail or at least get sued for causing injury or death.
Well around here the county crew does that when they "grade" the road. Always leave 10" or bigger rocks all over the road. They also pull all the rock of the hills and leave just slick red clay until someone wrecks when it's wet. Then they drop some creek gravel back on the hills, like 8" minus. A few years ago they actually put down 1" minus and it was nice until their grader operator pushed most of it into the ditches 6 months later.
Sounds like our county grader operators went to the same class lol. Mine also runs the brushhog in our area and has managed to run over all the tinhorns and collapse most of them.
OK, I'll show my ignorance. What is a "tinhorn"? I thought that it was a term that John Wayne used.
Gotcha. I had envisioned something upright.
