PGHFiend 140 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sat in a bit of a line today getting through the MK gate on the way to the Fort. They are putting up a new traffic signal at world and Vista Blvd. It was causing a major backup through the right 4 gates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He said his car has 100,000 miles on it with the original brakes, but he has replaced the horn 3 times.. :rotfl6: djsamuel, Avatab....

Yep - that's about right.

parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 The square here in Gettysburg can get interesting during tourist season with all the different drivers from all over displaying their different round a bout driving skills I refuse to go throught the square in Gettysburg, traffic is usually backed up anyway. I either go down Middle St or I'll "cut" through Culp's Hill, depending where I'm going.I grew up driving circles, so they don't bother me, but NJ is slowly taking them all out.

Nice! I live just across the river from Nashua, but have thankfully avoided having to regularly commute to/near Boston. I'm mostly working from home now too, although I went into the office today for the first time in weeks. Coincidentally I drove through 2 roundabouts to get there!
