Scale. That's the issue for me with roundabouts. More »

I like the small one on our block but don't think anything of the scale I know you're talking about in Olympia/Lacey would even fit at an intersection like 30th and Proctor in the North End. I'd settle for a left turn arrow here and there. More »

How do you all feel about round-abouts? We have the miniature versions all over the place in the residential side-streets. More »

Oh, and left turners that queue in the intersection and don't signal -- totally lame! More »

I like the urban residential feel as well. If anyone is familiar with Roosevelt/15th Streets in N Seattle, I love that setup with the one-ways; 12th/11th used to be like that here and it didn't work for whatever reason. More »

I try and chill when waiting on no-arrow left-turners especially since it only adds a whopping minute or two to my drive home. In some spots I'd argue there's ample room for a left turn lane but not in others. More »

More uninterrupted streets would definitely help. I wish Orchard weren't so broken. More »

To clarify, I'm certainly not a speeder or a tailgater, but I cannot stand the backups. My whole point to this: wouldn't it be cool if there were uninterrupted streets (one in each direction, north and south) through Tacoma? More »

I admit it, I prefer the psychological comfort that a traffic light provides, and it's easier to account for what all the other cars are doing at an intersection than in the middle of a busy street. Also, in the north end a lot of streets don't go all the way through to where I am going, and I don't know all of them yet. More »

Tangentville | Left hand turners, I dissuade your evil ways

To all who camp on green lights, waiting to turn left at rush hour all over town, I have but one question. Do you: a) prefer to wait in line, perhaps through a light or two, to remain on arterials as long as possible, avoiding tighter residential streets? More »
