    Re: Biggest traffic issues in the metro...

    There's an interchange just like this one in Kansas City, KS. Wish ODOT would just copy their signs for it, because you really cannot get any clearer than this:

    The world's largest lithium deposit is in northern Nevada. The tourism/gambling stuff is what most people think of first, but mining has been huge in Nevada going back to statehood, so they have the...

    Re: QuikTrip

    I think they moved the crosswalk closer to the street so that people turning in from the service road could see pedestrians crossing the driveway more easily.

    Re: Ronnie Kaye fired?

    Even if you think what he said wasn't that bad, if he was enough of a dumbass to say that on the air, it shows he doesn't think about what he says into the mic. Which means he's enough of a dumbass...

    There is no Buc-ee's planned for this area. I really don't know why that rumor keeps going around. The lot everyone keeps glomming onto as the site is owned by the Chickasaws, for goodness sake.

    If all it takes to be "rounded up" is being homeless, then the only thing the government needs to do to get rid of those inconveniencing them is declare them homeless. Report a few too many things on...

    Even so, if the huge majority of vehicles in California are EVs, that's thousands of people now out of the gasoline market, which means a decline in oil prices, which means a decline in the Oklahoma...

    Re: New I-35 bridges and multi-model path

    I don't believe there are any suspension or cable-stayed road bridges anywhere in the state.

    Based on the renderings, this looks to me like it would be what's called a tied arch bridge, somewhat...

    This is incorrect. An interstate shield merely means that the road has been approved by AASHTO and FHWA to be part of the Eisenhower Interstate System. There are a number of prerequisites to get this...

    I wasn't aware that smelling things you don't like the smell of was grounds to have it banned. I should get started on drafting a state question to ban sardines and Bradford pear trees.
