city planners making traffic dividers

For the most part, we have loved living in Lincoln. It is not a big city and promises more than it can deliver. But still it seems to be a good place. It has a couple of malls and a lively downtown, plus other stuff. Not much music presence, but nothing I can do about that.

One thing is has that I hate, though, is the fact that city traffic planners from hell have obviously been given carte blanche to do what they want with the streets.

Every major street has a long divider going sometimes three or four blocks. This means you cannot turn off of most of the streets in town onto a major street without going right then making a U turn.

Fortunately, U turns are legal, but the sad thing is that you see sometimes five or six cars making the U turns.

There has also been a lot of money spent on traffic circles in some of the oddest places.

All of it is a massive waste of money, and of the motorists’ time

Nothing I can do about it, but I hate it.
