And that explains why I went from one lane with a light to two lanes contraflow then back to one lane.


This was one of the first games I worked, so I am no expert. From what I gathered it seems like each corner makes a good faith effort to try and work together.

The commanders that plan everything really do work their asses off trying to predict problems and plan everything in advance. I was suprised at the amount of information and detailed master plans that send out several times a month in advance.

It's not like I studied anything advanced. The most relevant is from LSU with a concentration in Criminology.

Let's keep this about contraflow and less about my choices.

Congrats on keeping people from getting home then making fun of their efforts to explain their situation to you.

Well all that planning doesn't work out too well if you don't actually use the plan.

Please tell us you have "three degrees" again because it sounds a lot like you have one three letter degree "GED"

Agreed.

The intersection I worked at was pretty easy to follow the plan. I can't speak for the others.

Then why would you lie to strangers on the internet about having THREE separate college degrees?

I was responding to a poster who implied that a cop working traffic shouldn't be allowed to call a college kid a dumb arse.

I got there right after they blocked it off. literally the car in front of me turned left onto brightside.

So I roll down the window and one cop yells "Go straight!". I reply with "I live on brightside"

The other cop says "Ok." and then they put up the barricade and ignored me. So I went to the next apt complex, did a Uey and turned right on brightside. We really struggled to not yell "frick off cops" or something similar.

Naa, you just sound like a guy with an axe to grind that must have a problem with cops. I have met a million FloridaMike's so I get it.

If it makes you feel better, you can continue to presume to know what I am all about.

The system definitely inconveniences the locals, but I am guessing someone made the decision that it was a necessary sacrifice in order to accommodate the other 90k commuters.

Life. Goes. On...

No axe to grind. I respect the shite out of cops who solve real crimes and those who put their lives on the line for us. I can't thank those police officers enough and it's a shame they don't get the respect they deserve. It's the cops who think they are entitled to respect because they wear the badge even though all they do is harass college kids 5 days a week that get to me.
