More Pictures From the Road Construction of 2008

Our driveway is just to the right of the stairs there. What a pain in the *&^%. We can not use the driveway or garage for the car I am guessing for most or all of the summer. Hopefully whatever they do with street will make traffic slow down a little and be safer for everyone. There is a middle school just past the building on the left side of the picture. The building on the left is a nursing home.
There is an elementary school a few blocks to the right of these workers. On the corner behind these workers there is an apartment building that has low income housing for people. Some are on disability, social security, or work but do not make much money, etc.

The speed limit on the main road is 30 miles per hour and on the secondary road it is 25 miles per hour. Imagine being elderly, disabled, a small child, or someone who lives on these roads constantly having to deal with people routinely going 40 - 50 miles per hours.

People need to slow their cars down. There is nowhere you have to be that is that important (unless it is an emergency and even then slow down) that you risk a car accident that can forever change your life. Right now through the construction the speed limit is 20 miles per hour.

Remember at least in Wisconsin if you get a speeding ticket in a construction zone your fines DOUBLE as do the points taken off your license.

The workers are cutting into the cement and directing traffic today.

Of course there is always one idiot, moron, completely oblivious person, who should not have a license that honks his/her horn. Really like that is going to speed things up. It was some guy in a little expensive sports car that honked his horn. He even tried going around the idiot. He probably paid too much for the car, gets horrible gas mileage (gas as of my station yesterday was at $3.49 per gallon), and I do not even want to think about what he pays for insurance.

All I can say if he drives like that he deserves to be ripped off!!!!!
