I really enjoyed the light rail in Houston. Made the streetcar seem like a toy

Does that story really surprise you so much that it's not believable?
If I see someone going the wrong way down a one way, I bet whomever around that once they pass they will be sporting TX plates and win nearly every time

I did that I'm downtown Houston last August. Damn Google maps was like a block ahead. I was able to correct myself before a bunch of cars came

I need to start looking more at the plates, I'm usually too busy shaking my head and giving them "what are you thinking" hands up look. Much more effective than the finger. Posted on 2/23/15 at 7:24 pm to wizziko

nah, grew up in LA, live in TX, probably can't name a place I haven't driven in this country, heavy traffic wise, NOLA has some fricked up traffic "engineering"

Much better than the Boh Brothers and others doing that drainage work uptown
just curious as to why you would say that...what are the construction deficiencies there, in your opinion?

I can see how it would be confusing to a visitor but now I'm just a typical Nola driver. Everyone on the road sucks but me

so you see them doing a lot of work that takes a long time to complete...and that to you makes you think they don't know what they are doing
gotcha

It took 4 days to fix a pot hole in my street. 4 days....
It was also only one out of a few dozen, then they moved on to another street. It made zero sense aside from establishing job security

based on your admitted lack of knowledge of either the scope or the schedule of the projects, right?
