Confession

I have a confession to make...

I... am... evil. An evil "traffic engineer."

Today at work, I found myself analyzing a proposed roundabout. I found out that in 20 years the roundabout still won't be at 50% capacity, in other words, it will support the traffic at a high level of service (LOS).

Actually, it isn't even a project of mine. Since I gained experience with traffic analyses at work in the last few months, I am one of the more qualified people (scary, huh?), besides the Region Traffic Office. Btw, the Region Traffic Office can't work on it, because they are already over worked (and under staffed).

I really like roundabouts. People really underestimate their effectiveness.
