Alton Circle?

Accidents: yes there have been some, besides the Irving Gas truck that overturned (too fast on the curve). It really isn't the number of accidents in the past, it's about trying to prevent the really big one in the future. Most locals or those with local knowledge realize that they must hold their breath with other traffic around, because many folks feel that they are on the circle, therefore they have the right of way and blow off the yield signs. Hopefully it will smooth out the traffice flow and greatly reduce the potential for a major accident.

Just curious.
Does having traveled through the circle more than 1,500 times qualify me for
"local knowledge"?
This is just one more example of "fixing a problem" that barely exists. These are the types of projects that benefit those hired to do it. This is just another example of why this country is so far in debt.

RUSTY The original was probably scrapped because it would be too hard to get to McD's for my morning coffee.
Otherwise, it looked okay. Thanks for both layouts.

Thanks RailroadJoe,

I knew there was a better reason than just the 1.5 million difference.
