Does the infestation of raised medians mean our overseers think we're too stupid to make a left turn? It's amazing that we've survived as a species so long without having raised medians.
Or is there some construction company with REALLY good connections at CoCS or TXDOT?
I talked to a city manager of one of our nearby small cities and he told me that all the cities, including his. are putting in medians and curbs from the Infrastructure money that was available by the billions of dollars.
I thought the justification of passing all the Infrastructure funds was to address the aging and condition of our roads and bridges that supposedly was in great need for repairs. I didn't realize it was also for new construction that isn't really needed.
I haven't made an opinion on the medians but it sure is going to cause a lot of small businesses grief and also create a lot more U=turning at intersections. Drivers turning right on red need to keep in mind that the vehicle making a U-turn has the ROW.
