Okay, this is going to be a rant about Lexington traffic. Are you ready?

I have to drive thirty minutes to and from school every day, and have been doing so for the last three years. I have especially noticed some of the problems since I started driving myself. There are areas that are consistently bogged down to near undrivability.

Lexington was set up to have New Circle road serve as the main route around the city, allowing for a quick way to get around town. Its a decent concept, if you have city designers who aren't complete bumbling idiots on the job. But apparently Lexington hired a bunch of monkeys to design new circle, and these monkeys decided that half of the road would have stop lights. And we're now left with a road that half of the time, flows fluidly through town; the other half bulges under the slightest rush of people. Half the stop lights on new circle are about as pointless as an ejection seat on a helicopter, leading to pointless side streets. The stoplights as well must have been programmed by a two toed sloth. tell me why half the time I spend waiting at intersections no one is crossing them. It just irritates the $@#% out of me.

Don't even get me started on the drivers themselves. Half the people in this town don't know how to use a turn signal. In my short six months of driving two people have nearly smashed into my car just because they weren't looking before turning. Not to mention that half the people in this city must be colorblind, because everyone runs red lights. This is just a result of the stop lights being so terribly programmed,

Well that ends my rant. tomorrow I'll return to the impossible streets of this town.
