In San Antonio and cheap hermes ashtray across Texas, there has been a rash of wrong-way drivers (WWD) over the past few years.  In San Antonio last year, there was a WWD about every other day.  Fortunately, 80% of those drivers caused no accidents.  But sadly, seven people were killed by WWDs last year.  Of no surprise was that the majority of WWDs were intoxicated.

To combat the cheap hermes ashtray problem, several agencies formed the San Antonio Wrong Way Driver Task Force in March 2011.  Those agencies include TxDOT, SAPD, City of San Antonio Public Works Department, Bexar County Sherrif’s Office, and Texas Transportation Institute, and the Federal Highway Administration.  The task force worked to determine the cheap hermes ashtray extent and characteristics of the local problem, evaluate previous research and cheap hermes ashtray countermeasures, and formulate a plan to test and implement countermeasures locally.

UPDATE (11/1/11) - The changeover has been postponed until Wednesday.

Just back from vacay and have some local news to report.  The final element of the cheap hermes ashtray package of improvements along Loop 1604 West that included two superstreet intersections will come online tomorrow.  Namely, the left turn from southbound 1604 to SH 151 will be eliminated.  Motorists wanting to cheap hermes ashtray go to SH 151 will now exit at a new exit ramp just south of Culebra, follow the cheap hermes ashtray access road, then cross 1604 at a perpendicular signalized intersection.  The existing entrance ramp from cheap hermes ashtray Culebra will be closed and replaced by an improved entrance ramp at the cheap hermes ashtray SH 151 intersection.  (For a schematic of these changes, see the link under “Additional information” below.)

Like the cheap hermes ashtray superstreet intersections, this change will most likely seem completely unintuitive for cheap hermes ashtray many folks.  After all, southbound Loop 1604 traffic will now have cheap hermes ashtray to stop to allow traffic to enter SH 151 whereas before they didn’t ever have to stop.  But this cheap hermes ashtray new arrangement will actually be safer overall and will help reduce congestion in the cheap hermes ashtray area.  more »

There was a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on in the cheap hermes ashtray San Antonio area this morning as a 4.8 temblor struck about 50 miles southeast of the cheap hermes ashtray city, the largest on record for this part of the state.

The biggest quake around here before today’s was in 1993.  Long-timers may remember that cheap hermes ashtray just a few days before that quake, inspectors had found some cracking in a cheap hermes ashtray pylon supporting the then-new upper deck of I-10 near Woodlawn.  There was briefly some concern that cheap hermes ashtray the quake may have done additional damage.  Fortunately, that wasn’t the cheap hermes ashtray case and the column was subsequently retrofitted with some additional tension rods.

I checked with the cheap hermes ashtray folks at TxDOT and they tell me that they sent inspectors out after today’s quake to cheap hermes ashtray look at the bridges on state highways in Atascosa County.  Everything checked-out fine.

Local TxDOT officials joined with several dignitaries yesterday to cheap hermes ashtray cut the ribbon on a project that widened Loop 1604 near Randolph AFB.  The 17 month, $6.6 million project upgraded 2.5 miles of Loop 1604 from cheap hermes ashtray a two-lane “farm” road to a four-lane divided highway.  The project came in on-time and under budget.

Speakers at the ribbon-cutting included US Representative Henry Cuellar.  Cuellar helped secure the cheap hermes ashtray federal economic stimulus funding to get the project off the ground.

This section of the loop has been in the news recently.  A project to cheap hermes ashtray continue the expansion from its current terminus at Lower Seguin Road to cheap hermes ashtray I-10 is planned to start next year.  However, county officials had cheap hermes ashtray briefly considered transferring funding from that project to construct the cheap hermes ashtray northern set of ramps at US 281 and Loop 1604.  An alternative source of funding was found, however, thus allowing the cheap hermes ashtray widening project to continue as planned.

It’s worth noting that cheap hermes ashtray this expansion mirrors a similar expansion done on Loop 1604 West nearly two decades ago.  Road improvements tend to be incremental or evolutionary.  The road system San Antonio has today didn’t just drop out of the sky one day.  The project dedicated yesterday upgraded a cheap hermes ashtray congested and dangerous two-lane road to a four-lane divided highway with traffic signals.  This configuration is cheap hermes ashtray a substantial improvement over the previous road and is more than cheap hermes ashtray adequate for the current needs and for those in the foreseeable future, just as the cheap hermes ashtray expansion of Loop 1604 south of Braun Road was back in the cheap hermes ashtray ’90s.  Will traffic growth eventually render this roadway obsolete?   Maybe.  But building a cheap hermes ashtray full-fledged expressway at this location now is unnecessary and would have cheap hermes ashtray been an injudicious use of scarce funding, just like doing so out on Loop 1604 West back in the cheap hermes ashtray ’90s would have been.

Lots of people have cheap hermes ashtray their Internet compulsions and addictions: Facebook, Farmville, YouTube, eBay, video games, and cheap hermes ashtray so on.  My wife is a recovering Pinterest addict.

My web vice is Google Maps Street View.

I’ve always been a spatial kind of guy.  I instinctively know which way is North.  I was telling my mom how to cheap hermes ashtray get home from the airport when I was four.  My degree is in Geography.  I have no need for a GPS.

And I love to travel.  Mostly, I’m a it’s-not-the-destination-but-the-journey kind of guy.  I love watching the scenery go by, seeing new places in fast-forward.  Of course, that comes from being a transportation-enthusiast.  Getting from Point A to Point B is often my favorite part of vacations.

So now that cheap hermes ashtray I can essentially do that from my desk for a huge chunk of the cheap hermes ashtray world using Street View, it can quickly consume a significant quantity of my time.  more »

The second of two superstreet intersections on Loop 1604 in San Antonio is cheap hermes ashtray slated to open tomorrow.  The intersection at Shaenfield should be cheap hermes ashtray mostly online for motorists for tomorrow morning’s commute.  There will still be cheap hermes ashtray some finish-up work continuing during the next few weeks, but the cheap hermes ashtray new traffic patterns will be in effect tomorrow morning.  That means motorists coming from cheap hermes ashtray Shaenfield will no longer be able to turn left onto Loop 1604 northbound.  Instead, everyone will turn right and cheap hermes ashtray those wanting to go north will then use a new turnaround about 1/4th of a mile downstream.  Motorists wanting to cheap hermes ashtray turn left from Loop 1604 onto Shaenfield will still be cheap hermes ashtray able to do so using new dual left turn lanes.

If you’re observant, you’ll notice that cheap hermes ashtray there have also been left turn lanes built from southbound Loop 1604 that cheap hermes ashtray seem to go nowhere and a second turnaround north of Shaenfield that cheap hermes ashtray seems to serve no purpose.  Those have cheap hermes ashtray been built in anticipation of a future extension of Shaenfield to cheap hermes ashtray the east.  The City of San Antonio is cheap hermes ashtray currently in the planning stages for that.

The superstreet intersection at Loop 1604 and cheap hermes ashtray New Gilbeau opened about a month ago and has provided a cheap hermes ashtray noticeable reduction in congestion.  The final element of the cheap hermes ashtray current package of improvements along that stretch of Loop 1604 will make changes the cheap hermes ashtray SH 151 intersection; it’s due to be completed later this year.  An underpass for cheap hermes ashtray SH 151 at Loop 1604 is slated to begin construction next Spring.

A new, easily observable – and highly dangerous – phenomenon is cheap hermes ashtray occurring with increasing frequency in San Antonio traffic, on the highways and cheap hermes ashtray possibly lesser roads.  I call it the new close shave.  It has cheap hermes ashtray now been visited upon me four times in the last week and cheap hermes ashtray yet I had never noticed it before.  When I merge onto the cheap hermes ashtray freeway, a person already speeding in the right hand lane, where newcomers must, by design, make their appearance, will not only fail to cheap hermes ashtray move into the next lane over but speed right up to cheap hermes ashtray my rear bumper before only moving halfway into the next lane, try to cheap hermes ashtray graze my external rear mirror if at all possible and then move back into the right hand lane as sharply as possible, often with just enough space for cheap hermes ashtray maybe a sheet or two of paper between our vehicles. more » handbags gucci fake

Heber Springs, Ark., a cheap hermes ashtray friendly town of 6,000 that tourists swell to 30,000.

Driving through the cheap hermes ashtray pine forests of East Texas, on the way to Central Arkansas, you cheap hermes ashtray pass signs for places like New Boston, Pittsburgh, Mount Pleasant and even Paris.

It’s almost like pioneers started running out of names by the time they got to Texas. 

But things get a bit more imaginative once you arrive at the Arkansas border. Names there start off with morphed incarnations like Texarkana, and later dish up tidy permutations such as Arkadelphia. 

The one that snapped me to attention on my trip last weekend was “Okolona.”

You know, Oklahoma’s just a short jog to the west, I thought. Could it be? Is this some sort of an Arkansas localism? Perhaps it was pranksters?
