An accident implies it could not be helped. <BR/><BR/>Let see if we can get Tri-Met to use nothing but right hand turns? <BR/>Or, all the School Buses.Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659557034455079055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1145625079679811362006-04-21T06:11:00.000-07:002006-04-21T06:11:00.000-07:00Try making only right turns.

This is their way to make us so frustrated, we have to find alternative modes.<BR/><BR/>I remember reading some study stating Portland-area commuters don't use side streets as much as highways. Well duh!!

Hmm, we wouldn't want to build more roads, synchronize traffic signals somewhere besides downtown, use flashing yellow left-turn signals at night so people don't sit there for 3 min waiting for no one. <BR/><BR/>Nah, it's easier to build bike paths and tell us to make more right turns....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1145581227020956932006-04-20T18:00:00.000-07:002006-04-20T18:00:00.000-07:00Since liberals are incapable of making any turn to...Since liberals are incapable of making any turn to the right, it must be THEM that are wasting all that gas!!
