That's really shameful.
But, it seems that the Pieman is still at work on Woodbury issues.
Here is what he just emailed to me - his suggestion for how to deal with the continual traffic tie-ups at the Thruway-6-17-32-Woodbury Common interchange.
(by the way - you too can email the Uncle at cuzzincookie@hotmail.com )
1, Build rotaries just north of Commerce and just south of Buena Vista
2. Lower speed limit to 20 MPH.
3. Remove all traffic lights.
4. No left turns.
5. 4 or 5 lanes each direction - outer two are merge lanes.
6. Post "Lane Changes Must Be Signaled" and "You Must Yield To Cars Signaling Lane Change"
Even with a low speed (20 MPH) and merge lanes, because the flow will be continual without any traffic lights, traffic should move faster than it does now.
So, does this make sense?

I like the premise. The only question I have about it is, considering the existing roads, where would you build the roundabouts?
I believe that there is room available immediately south of Buena Vista and immediately north of Commerce.
How do you get traffic from the Commons to the thru-way without building on wet lands?
