Traffic Control

Controlling traffic must be challenging at any time, but especially in a town growing as fast as Gilbert. The construction locations constantly change, and so I am constantly revising my route of travel to bypass it. The town council has just approved some temporary controls at the busiest intersections, and you can read about that in today's AZ Republic, here.

One thing the Mister has noticed about traffic control in Morrison Ranch is that is isn't necessarily consistent. For example, in Higley Groves East, the parkway has 4 way stops. In Higley Groves West, the parkway has 2 way stops. We can have a little bit of input, but the final decisions for traffic control do not rest with us. However, the Mister hopes to have some input on the sign at the entrance to Higley Estates off Higley:




Somehow the placement of this traffic sign doesn't seem very aesthetically pleasing...

I often wonder how these millions of little details get handled in other communities; what if the guy who dreamed up the community doesn't live there, seeing every little issue and trying to make it right? When I asked the Mister, he laughed and said either the details aren't noticed, or the residents have to handle it. I guess I much prefer to be in this situation.
