I never knew there could be so much road construction in one place before. I think Utah probably holds the record (send me a message if you think otherwise!). There is road construction on every road I take for 16 miles to and from work... and on just about every other road too.On Friday I was driving to work (left 15 minutes earlier than normal because of a new construction project). I drove up 12300 South in Draper, where they took out about 100 yards of road for no apparent reason, to find the regular flow of traffic was diverted into what used to be the left hand turn lane to get onto the street where my work is. So instead of turning left I have to drive through the intersection and make a left into the shopping center, take a short trip through the parking lot, and then cross back over the street my work is on, to go into my work parking lot. PHEW... got it?
So back to Friday. I was driving behind a car (who apparently missed the three signs that said no left turn) that stopped in the left turn lane at the red arrow, causing the whole line of cars behind her to just have to sit and wait. Then I get to work and a co-worker tells me she did the same exact thing, she didn't see the signs!
This morning my sister told me a story about how a car in front of her ran smack into a road sign telling her the lanes were shifting... she obviously didn't see the signs (until they were staring right back at her!).
Keep an eye out for roads signs... I'm pretty sure they are out there for a good reason!
