And if we're talking about wishing that more conservative people would move here, then wish granted.

Yea, I guess I don't get it.

Most hard working decent people I've run into from south of the border are way more conservative than lib.

And the stupid fukn planners are doing it again with the central 70 project.

I liked the reroute idea to a certain degree even though there would still be a lot of heavy truck traffic on the boulevard.

However, Central 70 is a done deal, but I still don't get why Colorado doesn't use the greatest invention ever, "Texas Turnarounds."

They would rather build those ridiculous cloverleaf intersections

I'm looking this up right now. I haven't seen any ariel photos yet, but the way it's described sounds a lot like a clover style exit.

Actually, now that I think about it, when I was in Dallas last summer, I walked to a restaurant and encountered this style of turn around.

Here's a decent article with some history.

The answer to the question is that every interstate in Texas has frontage roads for every mile of interstate, which makes the Texas Turnaround possible.

[Gman]

Yeah, the frontage roads are great. They allow through traffic and allow local access. If there's a problem shutting down the highway, route traffic onto the frontage road and then back onto the highway at the next on-ramp. It's extremely flexible.

Then again, Texas A&M actually monitors and recommends changes to improve traffic conditions.

This state can't even coordinate traffic signals to keep traffic moving on major roadways.

Well, you've filtered your results.

There's also a generational influence that changes. Cuban immigrants are a great example. They came here with nothing, worked their assess off, and are very conservative. Go back and look at the presidential election results in and around Miami from 1980s-1990s. Look at it now. It's flipped. First gen Cuban-Americans are very supportive of collectivism.
